The pilot programme is intended to test new concepts for recruiting staff at universities of applied sciences. The special feature: the two Endowed Professors are employed in the company parallel to their university work.
Novel technical materials are supposed to react to changing environmental conditions with a response previously programmed into the material itself. Like biological materials, they can thus adapt to changing environmental conditions.
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.
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.
Prof. Dr. Jörg Mittelstät, Professor of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology at Reutlingen University, is researching programmable biomaterials in the "CAR-AdMATRIX" project to enable better and more cost-effective cancer therapy.
