ongoing projects
INTACT is researching a miniaturized transport system with intelligent ultrasound- and photonics-based sensor technology that for the first time realizes continuous transport and real-time analysis of intestinal contents discharged via a stoma in newborn and premature infants.
Prof. Dr. Christian Rabeling will become Professor of Integrative Taxonomy of Insects at the University of Hohenheim on 1 July 2022. He previously conducted research at Arizona State University, USA.
Whether and how are degradable materials possible? To clarify this question, research is being conducted into intelligent materials with embedded microphases that promote colonisation by microorganisms in water bodies and thus trigger their complete degradation.
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.
A research training group is investigating how conclusions are drawn in machine learning, taking into account the uncertainties involved.
Prof. Dr. Heide Biollaz, professor of sustainable energy technology and plant engineering at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, is researching the feasibility of isothermal membrane distillation (IMD) for drinking water production.
Young scientists are qualified for the trans- and interdisciplinary requirements for research into the dynamic equilibrium of microbial communities from the molecular level to complex ecosystems.
JenaVersum is a network for the cooperation of actors from science and industry in the Jena region. The development of a database should enable a coordinated use of the available research equipment for all partners.
Prof. Dr. Maria Dienerowitz, Professor of Laser Technology at the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena, is developing a system in the BioLOC project that can be used to study freely moving single molecules in a compact microfluidic device.
Methods from machine learning for big data are to be applied to questions in atmospheric physics. Among other things, the representation of clouds in climate models and the predictability of weather situations will be worked on.
