We are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Heike Trautmann as a new professor at our faculty at Paderborn University from the winter semester 2023/24. With her broad range of experience and passion for innovative research, she brings a wealth of expertise and commitment to our academic community.
The Weierstraß lecture 2024 will take place on April 26 at 16:00 in lecture hall O1 at Paderborn University. We are looking forward to a lecture titled "Beyond Boundaries: Recent Advances in the Obstacle Problem" by the Fields Medalist Prof. Dr. Alessio Figalli (ETH Zürich). The Fields Medal is regarded as the "Nobel-Prize of Mathematics".
From measuring and radar systems to telecommunications: huge amounts of data are being transmitted in ever shorter times nowadays. Precise signals are essential. If they are inaccurate, errors occur. In the "RadiOptics" research project, which was launched last June at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University, scientists are therefore working on a signal generator that aims to reduce potential sources of error. A spin-off has now…
The multi-award-winning mathematician Prof. Dr Alessio Figalli will give the keynote lecture at this year's Weierstrass Lecture at Paderborn University on Friday, 26 April. The scientist was awarded the Fields Medal in 2018. It is the highest honour in the field of mathematics and has a reputation comparable to that of the Nobel Prize, which does not exist in this discipline.
Professor Eric Bodden, a computer scientist at Paderborn University and director of the Fraunhofer IEM, has been awarded the ‘ERC Advanced Grant’ of 2.5 million euros by the European Research Council for his research into secure software systems. These grants are the most significant European research funding award available and are given to top researchers for their exceptional scientific achievements via a competitive process.
Digital and networked systems for ecologically sustainable and future-proof mobility solutions in the transport sector - at Hannover Messe 2024 from 22 to 26 April, researchers from Paderborn University will be presenting technologies and concepts for sustainable developments that contribute to improving processes in passenger transport and logistics.
The European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) has named Prof. Dr Friedhelm Meyer auf der Heide, retired Professor of Computer Science at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute and the Department of Computer Science at Paderborn University, as a 2024 EATCS Fellow in recognition of his "influential contributions to algorithmic and complexity theory problems in parallel computing, communication and data management in networks, network…
Roxana Carls (FGI) and Dr. Christina Lammer (perspEktIve M, mentoring program for female students of the EIM faculty) are pleased to invite you to the FiMINT meeting again. This time we would like to invite you to talk to each other about the future of the STEM fields. The event is therefore entitled: "Future Lunch - What questions about the future are you asking yourself for your STEM field?"
In the 34th episode of the "All Day Research" podcast, we welcome Prof. Dr. Heike Trautmann, who talks to our host Marvin Beckmann about data stream mining, machine learning and optimization.
Mathematical modelling in the form of reality-based text tasks, in which the respective questions are answered using mathematical means, is an important part of school education. However, many pupils find it difficult to solve modelling problems. The "ViMo" research project, in which scientists from Paderborn University and the University of Münster are working together, aims to support them and develop suitable methods to improve their modelling…
In the 33rd episode of the "All Day Research" podcast, students Adrian Block and Lukas Ostermann talk to Dr. Harald Selke, Head of the Student Office, about the reaccreditation of the Computer Science degree program.
The results of the DFG Review Board election have been announced: Prof. Dr Matthias Bauer, Prof. Dr Claudia Schmidt, Prof. Dr Werner Homberg, Prof. Dr Elmar Moritzer, Prof. Dr Eric Bodden and Prof. Dr Christian Plessl from Paderborn University have been elected to the various committees of the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the 2024 to 2028 term of office. "I am very pleased for our researchers. The election recognises their research…
Dynamic systems play a central role in countless technical applications, e.g. in autonomous vehicles, aeroplanes or the energy grid. Data-based methods have become increasingly important in this field in recent years, meaning that interdisciplinarity is playing an ever more central role. This is how Junior Professor Dr Sebastian Peitz and Dr Oliver Wallscheid, who have been cooperating closely on a scientific level for a long time, came up with…
Researchers at Paderborn University are involved in a pioneering Europe-wide project seeking to improve safety, health and environmental standards in ship recycling. To achieve this, partners from science and industry are taking a new approach using robotics and AI systems. The project was launched in January for a period of four years, and has received a total of nearly eight million euros of funding from the European Union (EU), of which…
