How modeling and simulations by two Berlin research groups help to predict the future and support decision-makers in times of corona crisis. The approach with agent-based models is the same; the difference lies in the dimensions.

The successful project proposal Schule@DecisionTheatreLab, headed by Sarah Wolf (FU Berlin), was developed by a consortium of six members from the three Berlin universities and is based on the collaborative research of the Cluster of Excellence MATH+.

With Number 9 to the prestigious SIGEST Award! Michael Joswig and his co-authors were awarded by the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) for a paper, which deals with a special problem for solving linear programs.

What does the future hold? Sustainability that pays off! To help shape the ecological turnaround, Mathematician Sarah Wolf analyzes agent-based modeling for sustainability issues.

Speeding up the process of developing and gaining approval for new drugs is the goal of a research team at Harvard Medical School working together with the BMS Alumnus, Georg Gorgulla, and the MATH+ member, Konstantin Fackeldey from TU Berlin. They explore possible viral binding sites for COVID-19 drugs.

The Berlin Mathematics Research Center MATH+ invites applications for positions in the new projects in the Application Areas, Emerging Fields and Transfer Unit starting in 2021.
