Artificial neural networks are currently the driving force of artificial intelligence (AI). Methods based on such deep neural networks are producing impressive results in a wide range of real-world applications, such as autonomic driving, game intelligence and the health sector. The research questions being pursued
Mathematical models and the systematic investigation and interpretation of data play a central role in the current public discourse on the COVID-19 pandemic. Many aspects of applied mathematical research and activities of WIAS researchers are relevant for the investigation of these questions.
The open-source platform "VirtualFlow" examines billions of molecules in a very short time. The results of the research project were published in the renowned Nature journal. The researchers have now started to use this platform to search for potentially active compounds that could block the
Scientists of the research group around Kai Nagel at TU Berlin create simulations on Berlin and reopening scenarios to generate new calculations for the possible spread of the virus. These simulations can also be used to calculate the potential success of measures such as contact restrictions
COVID-19 caused by the novel virus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2) is currently spreading across the globe. The first confirmed COVID-19 case hit Berlin on 1 March 2020 and was treated at Charité Berlin Campus Virchow. On the page linked below, ZIB scientists
The Research Campus MODAL received the approval for its second funding period (2020-2025) on 3 April 2020. The total volume of funding will exceed 25 million EUR, of which 10 million EUR come from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). MODAL's industrial partners provide matching funds
MATH+ Chair Martin Skutella explains the math behind “Social Distancing” (in German)
BMS alumnus Marc James Curran was recognized for his scientific achievement at the 2019 State Conference of Rectors and Presidents of Berlin Universities (Landeskonferenz der Rektoren und Präsidenten der Berliner Hochschulen). Mark was honoured with a Tiburtius recognition award for his doctoral dissertation entitled “….“. (More
The German Research Foundation DFG supports a new Research Training Group on “Stochastic Analysis in Interaction” based in Berlin and Oxford with 3.9 Mio Euro for 4.5 years. It will be part of BMS and MATH+. In April 2020, 13 PhD students will start their
Those who want to combat climate change, plan environmentally friendly traffic or master artificial intelligence need mathematics. Students, teachers and anyone interested can experience this by participating in the digital Math Advent Calendars. Starting on December 1, the daily math puzzles guarantee fun at thinking,
