Henny Engelhardt studied Civil Engineering at the TU Braunschweig and has been a research associate at the Braunschweig Pavement Engineering Centre (ISBS) at the TU Braunschweig under the direction of Prof. Michael P. Wistuba since January 2023. The focus of her research is on the integration of sensor technologies into the road structure, among other things, for the detection and evaluation of the service condition. She is currently working on the conceptual design of a Smart Asphalt Road, which will serve as a real-life laboratory and reference route for the use of sensors in asphalt-bound pavements.
