The endowed professorship aims to take a comprehensive view of multimodal data sets in the life sciences. AI methods will be used to record, summarize and analyze these. The aim is to depict and understand the onset of diseases and derive new treatments.
CZS junior professor Andrea Pannwitz (tenure track) is researching a pioneering energy conversion process at the University of Jena and HIPOLE. The aim is to use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into valuable compounds and produce hydrogen.
Prof. Dr Michèle Finck has taken over the endowed professorship for the law of artificial intelligence in Tübingen as of 01.07.2021. The chair is intended to meet the challenges of self-learning AI and Big Data to the value and legal system.
The endowed professorship aims to clarify system-critical issues with regard to the use of straw and clay as load-bearing components. In addition, practical applications of these materials are to be developed in order to reduce the consumption of resources in the construction sector.
Universities have high CO2 emissions due to energy-intensive infrastructures. The project team is developing AI-supported planning models to reduce energy consumption, make better use of renewable energies and reduce emissions.
Prof. Dr. Peter Bretschneider was appointed Endowed Professor for Energy Use Optimisation at TU Ilmenau starting in the winter semester of 2016.
How much pre-programmed knowledge, for example in the field of agricultural science, does an AI need in order to better classify observations? An interdisciplinary research team at the TU Kaiserslautern is dealing with these and similar questions.
Campus networks are local mobile radio networks that connect buildings and grounds. The project develops technologies to minimize their energy consumption and optimizes their use, network control and architecture. The solutions are then tested at Koblenz University of Applied Sciences.
In the EESY Engineering project, four focus modules on sustainability are being developed and anchored in engineering degree programs. Students should use their specialist skills in a critical and application-oriented manner for sustainable development.
Using a synthetic enzyme, Energase, green hydrogen is to be produced from biomass by microorganisms in a carbon-neutral way. This allows a more efficient synthesis pathway to be used than with known enzymes.
