ongoing projects
The endowed professorship funded by the project is held by Prof. Dr Gerard Pons-Moll. He conducts research on the development of sustainable and robust intelligent systems that can react adaptively to new situations and continue to learn.
Prof. Dr. Maximilian Coblenz, Professor of Information Systems at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences, is researching the link between copulas, a tool used in statistics, and machine learning.
Prof. Dr. Hendrik Dubbe, Professor of Application and Process Engineering of Surface Coating at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, is testing the application potential of a lithium-free, sustainable battery for use in e-cars in the LiFreBat project.
Research is being carried out into the potential of the calcifying properties of algae for various industrial applications, for example for the development of multiplying concrete or the development of calcium-containing minerals as alternative coatings for solar cells.
The first transregional centre for quantum photonics at the universities of Jena, Stuttgart and Ulm offers around 50 scientists a cross-disciplinary and cross-location platform for research and exchange.
At the CZS Centre SynGen, experts from the Universities of Heidelberg and Mainz and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology are researching the use of new DNA synthesis and artificial intelligence technologies for revolutionary future applications in biotechnology and medicine.
Prof. Dr. Claudia Hildebrandt has held the professorship for computer science and its didactics at Heidelberg University of Applied Sciences since June 1, 2022. In addition to researching the performance characteristics of students, she is also concerned with the influence of further education measures.
Funding is provided for the establishment of a CZS Endowed Professorship in Artificial Intelligence in Neural Systems Imaging. The professorship will advance the development of AI-based methods for systemic neuroscience.
Artificial intelligence and law are interdependent. At the interdisciplinary CZS Institute for AI and Law, lawyers and computer scientists are conducting joint research.
The CZS junior research group at the ELLIS Unit Jena uses artificial intelligence (AI) to address questions in the environmental sciences, e.g. in climate or ecosystem research. This is important, for example, to better explain climate extremes and their effects in the Earth system.
