Hamburg University gets EUR 2.1 million for digitalisation research

Prof. Dr. Gregor Kasieczka is a particle physicist at the Institute of Experimental Physics and co-ordinates the joint Artificial Intelligence for the Swift Simulation of Scientific Data project involving researchers in particle and astrophysics all over Germany. The aim is to develop AI-based simulation processes for swifter, more flexible and efficient evaluation of research data. "We need either far more computing resources in future or much faster and more efficient algorithms to use the existing resources sustainably," said Kasieczka.

As part of a second AI research project co-ordinated by the Institute for Experimental Physics, Prof. Dr. Florian Grüner and his team are researching AI-based biomedical X-ray fluorescence imaging for 4D tracking of immune cells. Researchers are also focusing on three other collaborative projects. Prof. Dr. Marcus Brüggen, Hamburg Observatory, is researching an information field theory for experiments on large-scale research facilities. Meanwhile, researchers at the Institutes of Experimental Physics and Geophysics are working on the anticipation of 3D wave fields and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Hillert is developing optimised laser pulses for free-electron lasers.
