ongoing projects
Prof. Dr. Verena Klusmann-Weißkopf, Professor of Health Promotion and Prevention at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences, systematizes photographically collected images of old age from central life worlds using AI to counter negative stereotypes.
The annual networking meetings of the Vice Presidents for Research and Transfer in Berlin are intended to help strengthen the successful transfer of scientific findings into economic innovations. The Stifterverband organizes the network meetings.
The AI project team at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences (THM) is researching the combination of bio-sensors with AI algorithms to reliably monitor the freshness of food in retail stores in real time.
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.
Prof. Dr. Tamas Harczos of the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt is researching an ultra-low-power platform consisting of hardware, firmware, and software components for audio and sensor data processing.
Prof. Steffen Beese, Professor of Engineering Mechanics/FEM at the EAH Jena, researches the optimization of additively manufactured components using sensitivity analyses and AI models. In doing so, he determines the material parameters and improves performance.
Prof. Florian Wasser, Professor of Physics, Engineering Fundamentals and Sensor Technology in Electrical Engineering at the TH Bingen, is researching the physical foundations for the development of fusion power plants for sustainable and CO2-free energy generation.
Dr. Simon Binder conducts research into novel neuroimplants. He studied electrical engineering and information technology at TU Darmstadt and TU Dresden. After completing his doctorate, he spent several years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Utah.
Prof. Sebastian Schillo, professor at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, is researching the interface between mechatronic assemblies and biological systems. In particular, 4D printed components are to be incubated with mycelium in order to realize biointelligent behaviour.
Dr. Nadja Henke studied biology and genome-based systems biology at Bielefeld University and received her PhD in industrial biotechnology in the field of metabolic engineering. During her postdoc, she developed novel bioprocesses for the production of pigments.
