Prof. Dr Michèle Finck has taken over the endowed professorship for the law of artificial intelligence in Tübingen as of 01.07.2021. The chair is intended to meet the challenges of self-learning AI and Big Data to the value and legal system.
The endowed professorship aims to clarify system-critical issues with regard to the use of straw and clay as load-bearing components. In addition, practical applications of these materials are to be developed in order to reduce the consumption of resources in the construction sector.
The research vision of Prof. Dr. Fabian Kennel, Professor of Automation and Energy Systems Engineering, is to rethink the energy management of energy networks. Temporary surpluses are to be used and intelligent control elements applied.
Prof. Dr. Peter Bretschneider was appointed Endowed Professor for Energy Use Optimisation at TU Ilmenau starting in the winter semester of 2016.
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.
Tobias Buck holds a doctorate in astrophysics. During his studies at the University of Heidelberg, he focused on robotics, machine learning and space exploration. Most recently, he worked as a postdoc at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Potsdam.
Dr. Jonas Kuckling researches the development of software for robot swarms, e.g. using imitation learning. He studied computer science at the University of Paderborn and completed his doctorate at the Université Libre in Brussels. He has been a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Konstanz since April 2023.
The Ultrasens-Vir project is researching new methods for the diagnosis of viral diseases. The aim is to develop a new diagnostic method based on the application of fluorescent nanodiamonds.
Research is being conducted into the development of an intelligent "concrete 2.0" that is adaptive and multifunctional as a high-performance material and thus meets the increasing demands on performance and availability in transport infrastructure.
The project is researching the development of hearing implants. The surface properties of a tympanic membrane lens are to be optimized for this purpose. To this end, a material platform is to be developed that will make it possible to adapt the surface properties in a targeted manner.
