2023

The Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI) invites all interested parties to discuss mathematical research data, present their own ideas and services, and make new connections in a three-day noon-to-noon workshop with talks, hands-on sessions, and a barcamp. The goal of MaRDI is to make research data discoverable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. Up to now, however, they have often been available in a decentralized, project-related manner or only for a limited period of time. Fraunhofer ITWM is a member of the initiative and helps to achieve this goal thanks to the commitment of our institute director Dr. Anita Schöbel and Dr. Christine Biedinger. The talk that Dr. Christine Biedinger will give is about the capture of complex workflows in structured workflow schemas.

The »Spin Phenomena Interdisciplinary Center« (SPICE) of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz organizes a workshop on the new research field of terahertz spintronics, which combines the topics of magnetism, spintronics and ultrafast optics. Our colleague Felix Paries from the department »Materials Characterization and Testing« will participate in this workshop and give a talk.

Our expert, Dr. Scherrer gives a lecture at the Demography Week 2023. Prof. Dr. Schöbel will also take part in the subsequent panel discussion.

The annual conference of the German Association for Materials Research and Testing in 2023 will focus on digitization, which is creating new impulses in many respects with regard to fatigue strength design. A team from the division »Mathematics for Vehicle Engineering« will have an exhibition booth and, together with representatives from John Dere, will give a presentation at the conference.

The herCAREER expo supports women in their professional environment. The fair offers numerous opportunities for a direct exchange of experiences with experts and personalities from business, science, culture, politics and the media.

The Fraunhofer ITWM will be at the European Quantum Technology Conference from October 18 to 19. At the event, the results of European research in the field of quantum computing will be presented. Fraunhofer ITWM is also involved in this cutting-edge research with the Competence Center Quantum Computing Rhineland-Palatinate. Our expert Shivan Sharma from our department »Financial Mathematics« is on site and presents a poster on quantum computing.

On 18 and 19.10.23 the 2nd General Assembly Meeting for the EU EH project Relevium will take place. Our colleagues Dr. Alexander Scherrer and Dr. Maximilian Pilz from the division »Optimization« will be present and represent our institute.

This conference is designed to bring together experts from the medical technology industry. Our staff from the »Flow and Material Simulation« department will be holding a presentation entitled »Computer-Aided Engineering for Process and Product Optimization in Medical Technology«.

This event has been postponed to 22.11.2023. In the joint project »EnerQuant: Energy Economics Fundamental Modeling with Quantum Algorithms«, our researchers from the department "Financial Mathematics" and the area »High Performance Computing« use advantages of quantum computing for the energy industry. We will present the results of this work in the workshop.

The Deep Learning Seminar is organized by employees from the field »Data Analysis and Machine Learning« in the department »High Performance Computing«. This week's topic is »From spiking neural networks to event-based AI – the SpiNNaker2 system «
