The decarbonisation of industrial process heat is one of the major challenges of the energy transition. In industry, however, a significant proportion of the energy required is covered by fossil fuels, while only a small proportion of the energy used is recovered. This is where the joint project "HeatTransPlan" comes in.
From October 1, 2025, Prof. Dr. Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo will take over the office of Vice Dean for Computer Science.
