ongoing projects
Dr. Sina Saravi is a physicist specializing in nano-optics. He studied electrical engineering in Iran and then completed his doctorate in physics at the University of Jena, where he has been working as a postdoctoral researcher since 2018.
The aim of MitmachFORUM on Tour is to further develop research and teaching in close dialog with society and to transfer science to rural areas through participation. The core of the project is a mobile science bus to strengthen democratic participation and trust in science.
The establishment of a centre for model-based artificial intelligence is intended to improve the treatment of cancer. It is investigating how AI systems can support cancer research more efficiently through pre-programmed knowledge.
BioBrix aims to develop new types of binders and fiber reinforcements made from leather, natural fiber and wool waste for the production of building materials. Their use in unbaked clay, concrete and floors is intended to increase the strength and durability of the building materials and minimize their CO2 footprint.
The project team is researching the treatment of heart failure using a combination of novel AI approaches and robotics. Comprehensive health data will be used to train an AI that will identify new correlations between the disease and the values and incorporate them into the therapy.
Prof. Dr. Anna Neovesky, Professor of Digital Humanities at Erfurt University of Applied Sciences, is researching how characteristic melodies can be used in music search and recognition.
The project is researching the development of special nanoparticles that transport active ingredients directly into the liver. Biophysical mechanisms and artificial intelligence are being used for this. The aim is to treat liver diseases more effectively and reduce side effects.
The project is researching a new method of combating tumors. To this end, the team is developing novel nanoparticles made of gold. The particles use radiation and chemotherapy simultaneously and kill the cancer cells in a targeted manner. Side effects are thereby reduced.
Protein sequencing promises to significantly advance research and medicine, but is expensive and time-consuming. Simultaneous measurement of electrical signals and fluorescence should enable rapid, cost-effective protein sequencing.
Only 41% of people with hearing loss use a hearing aid. NeuroSensEar aims to improve the acceptance of and provision with hearing aids by increasing performance. To this end, bio-inspired sensor technology is combined with sound analysis.
