2024

The ICCF conferences demonstrate the progressive connection between finance, mathematics and computational innovation. The current 2024 conference is organized by Utrecht University and will take place from 2 to 5 April at the CWI in Amsterdam, a renowned center for mathematical and computational research.

The »Versicherungsforen Leipzig« organize the specialist conference »Risk Management and Capital Investment in Insurance 2024« for specialists and managers from the insurance industry. The focus is on ESG risks, Solvency II Review and innovative investment strategies. Marcus Willems and Mark-Oliver Wolf will give a presentation on Solvency II and AI.

The embedded world Exhibition and Conference is the industry meeting place for the embedded community, leading experts and industry associations. A team from the division »High Performance Computing« and the department »Financial Mathematics« will be at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft's joint booth (Hall 4, Stand 422) to present our »Neural Architecture Search for Embedded Applications« (NASE) service.

PaintExpo is the world's leading trade fair for industrial coating technology. We will be there with a team from the department »Materials Characterization and Testing« and will be presenting our work in the field of coating thickness measurement of single and multi-layer coatings using terahertz measurement technology.

The Advanced Battery Power Conference brings together experts from the field of battery technology to promote the exchange between industry and research. Our colleague Dr. Jochen Zausch from the »Flow and Material Simulation« department will be represented with a poster on »Electrolyte Wetting in the Production of Lithium Ion Batteries: A Simulation Approach«.

The kick-off event for the German Biotechnology Days 2024 will take place on April 15 at the Rhineland-Palatinate State Representation to the Federal Government and the European Union in Berlin. Our head of the institute Prof. Dr. Anita Schöbel will be on site and will give a short presentation on the topic »Risks and Opportunities from the Perspective of AI«

The Automotive CAE Grand Challenge promotes the exchange between companies, science and software development to solve these challenges. Our colleague Dr. Jörg Kuhnert from the department »Transport Processes« will be present at a booth of our distribution partner scapos AG.

We are represented with colleagues at the joint booth of the Fraunhofer Center Kaiserslautern at the »Career Fair Uni Mannheim«. Students and graduates can inform themselves about their career opportunities.

This one-week course, which we organize in cooperation with Fraunhofer FOKUS, offers an introduction to the basics of quantum computing and the most important algorithms. It provides an overview of the basics of quantum mechanics, quantum gates and circuits, quantum programming and areas of application.

Together with our project partners, we are offering an online workshop as part of the conference. Marvin Schulte from the department »Transport Processes« will give a presentation at this workshop entitled »The SEMSAI Research Project – Predicting the Development of Pandemics«.
