At TUM, the Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence is carrying out cutting-edge interdisciplinary research into AI and robotics for everyday life.
At THI, guest professor Alessandro Zimmer is strengthening collaborations between Bavaria and Latin America, driving research in AI and mobility engineering across the globe.
At JMU Würzburg, Professor Laurens W. Molenkamp and his team are conducting pioneering work on topological materials. With its cutting-edge technology, the new Institute for Topological Insulators will be the ideal place for them to develop this research.
The University of Bayreuth, together with two Australian partner universities, the University of Melbourne and Monash University, is establishing a new International Research Training Group (IRTG) in the field of semiconductor research. The college will start in spring 2023 and will be funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with more than six million euros for an initial period of five years. Outstanding young talents from the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering will be able to apply from December 2022 for admission to the International Research Training Group and an associated position as a researcher with the aim of obtaining a doctorate.
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) has again moved upward in the THE World University Rankings by Subject and is now among the world’s 10 best universities for computer science. It ranks 20th in engineering and 23rd in natural sciences. In several other subject groups it is among the top 50.
A science and industry consortium is working on a testing station to achieve significantly higher charging rates than have been possible in the past. This is intended to increase the electrification of heavy-load transports in the future. More robust charging points and accordingly configured vehicle components are to drastically reduce charging times for heavy-duty trucks, making electric drives more attractive to freight carriers. The project's objective is to reduce battery charging time to only 15 minutes in the future.
The next milestone for the Technical University of Munich (TUM) Hyperloop research program has been achieved. The groundbreaking for the 24-meter-long TUM Hyperloop test segment took place on September 30, 2022 at the Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen site. The event was attended by Bavaria's Minister President Dr. Markus Söder and the Bavarian Minister of Science and the Arts Markus Blume. The test segment is the first of its kind in Europe.
What tasks can nanosatellites perform around the moon or even further away from Earth? A new study at the University of Würzburg aims to clarify this.
On October 12, 2022, the Center of Energy Technology (ZET) at the University of Bayreuth will host the "Industry Day" for the first time. Representatives of companies from all branches of industry are invited to learn first-hand about the latest findings, innovative applications and cutting-edge technologies in fields of energy research and energy engineering. Together with ZET scientists, they can explore opportunities for cooperation in research and development. Participation is free of charge.
Markus Michel M.Sc., a graduate of the master's programme "Automotive and Mechatronics" at the University of Bayreuth, has been awarded the "VDI Prize for the best engineering thesis in 2022" by the Association of German Engineers (VDI). In his master's thesis, he developed a procedure for the measurement-based monitoring of highway bridges. In the future, this procedure could help to detect gradually developing damage at an early stage and to take countermeasures. The award will be presented on October 22, 2022, during this year's Graduate Day of the Faculty of Engineering on the campus of the University of Bayreuth.
