ongoing projects
In the CZS Young Investigator Group, Dr. Kevin Maik Jablonka researches polymers at the interface between materials science and data science. Since 2023, he has been group leader at the Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications.
The CZS STEM-Forum at the University of Koblenz facilitates formats such as seminars, conferences, or workshops for interdisciplinary exchange between STEM scientists, offers support for young scientists and research, and supports regional networking.
A junior professorship is being funded at the Institute for Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry at the University of Jena. By means of "artificial photosynthesis", more sustainable catalysts are to be developed compared to current ones based on e.g. platinum.
With the help of machine learning methods, measures for effective and economical emission reduction are being researched in the project. The digital twin of a production process is used to show ways to achieve climate-neutral production.
The aim of the project is to decarbonize the heat supply of existing buildings and thus dispense with fossil natural gas. To achieve this, cold local heating networks are designed bidirectionally and solar heat from the summer is stored seasonally in the ground and used in the winter.
DeepTurb aims to explore and understand fundamental transport processes through more effective modeling of turbulent flows. Using AI, the dynamics of turbulent superstructures will be extracted and predicted in dynamical systems.
DELIVER is a new concept at the interface of materials science, synthetic biology and data science. By means of cell programming and machine learning, wood-based materials with arbitrarily adjustable properties are to be produced.
Dr. Desirée Leistenschneider is a chemist and researches batteries. She studied and completed her doctorate at TU Dresden. After a postdoctoral phase at the University of Alberta (Canada), she now heads a junior research group at the University of Jena.
Prof. Dr. Julia Berger, Professor of Applied Midwifery at Furtwangen University, uses AR-animated applications with interactive elements to improve the understanding of physiological and pathological processes during childbirth.
Prof. Dr Doris Aschenbrenner has been appointed Endowed Professor for Digital Methods in Production at Aalen University starting in the summer semester of 2021.
