Im Rahmen der Ausschreibung CZS Forschungsstart im Sommersemester 2025 wurden folgende neun Projekte von neuberufenen HAW-Professorinnen und -Professoren bewilligt.
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.
Prof. Denise Welsch, Professor of Bioinformatics at Koblenz University of Applied Sciences, is researching automatic gene prediction. Using a new AI model, gene structures can be predicted from DNA sequences of related species without time-consuming comparisons.
Prof. Jennifer Brings, Professor of Software and Web Engineering at Bingen University of Applied Sciences, is developing a goal-oriented requirements engineering approach. The aim is to enable the documentation and automated analysis of goals for collaborative system networks.
Prof. Simon Peter, Professor of Technical Mechanics at Reutlingen University, is developing a new measurement method for hearing diagnosis. The middle ear is specifically measured and the most relevant vibration variables are recorded with increased efficiency, accuracy and improved interpretability.
Prof. Mürsel Yildiz, Professor of IT Security in Digitalization at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, is researching AI-supported cyber security. He is developing an LLM-supported model that detects and responds to security threats at an early stage.
Prof. Philipp Heßler, Professor of Optometry and Visual Aids Technology at the EAH Jena, is investigating ways of objectively measuring accommodation parameters, the ability of the human eye to see objects sharply at different distances.
Prof. Darko Katic, Professor of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at HfT Stuttgart, is developing an AI-supported assistance system for surgery. The system uses large language models and retrieval augmented generation and uses medical ontologies to make surgical procedures understandable.
Prof. Antje Muntzinger, Professor of Computer Vision at HfT Stuttgart, is investigating the development of a multimodal AI system for the robust detection and tracking of vehicles on highways. She combines AI with prior physical knowledge to compensate for sensor errors.
