Project overview

What is the perfect place to live for the baby boomer generation? To clarify this question, mathematical methods and AI technologies are analyzed that can support decision-making processes in municipalities.

AI4ChemRisk analyzes the risks of chemical pollution from wastewater and agriculture in our freshwater ecosystems. AI models are used to predict contamination processes in order to improve their management.

In pharmaceutical research, the early detection of undesirable or even absent effects of therapeutics represents the greatest hurdle to successful To achieve a breakthrough in the treatment of brain tumors, an AI-based model for the interplay of gene activity and therapy response is being developed. The goal is to predict the effect of drugs and optimize personalized therapies for cancer patients.

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.

Researchers at RPTU are working on the development of a genetically encoded quantum sensor to monitor disease processes in living cells for the first time without being influenced by the measurement method.

The Carl Zeiss Foundation supports 150 German scholarships at a total of 20 universities in Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Thuringia, thus creating scope for young scientists in STEM subjects.

Production tools are often made from tungsten carbide and cobalt. Both minerals are scarce materials and highly critical from a social point of view. The "FairTools" project is researching how these minerals can be replaced or saved in production.

In line with the energy turnaround, electricity demand in the process industry must be used flexibly in the future oriented to the electricity supply. To this end, the project is investigating the flexibilization of batch processes and DC-based supply networks..
