In the interview with the Open Science Magazine Dr. Tom Brown reports about his experiences on “Open Science”:

“I realised that we need a fully open system: energy grid data must be just as freely accessible as the model codes who use these data to compute the results.”

He headed the Energy System Modelling (ESM) group within the research area Energy System Integration (ESI) at the IAI until March 2021 (until he was appointed to the TU Berlin).

On January 20-21, 2021, the NanoFabNet consortium hosted an interactive online workshop, which attracted more than 170 participants from the research, industrial, and academic sectors working in the fields of nanotechnology and sustainability, gathering valuable insights into the needs and solutions for the development of this important sector.

The Institute for Automation and Applied Informatics (IAI) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) as a partner led the day's discussions on the topic of sustainability and the NanoFabNet Hub Structure.

Wir gratulieren Jonas Hurst zur Auszeichnung als einer der 13 Jahrgangsbesten an der Hochschule Karlsruhe (HsKA Awards 2020). Der Preisträger absolvierte den Studiengang Geoinformationsmanagement und hat sich in seiner Abschlussarbeit mit dem Thema 3D-Baumkataster befasst und hierbei innerhalb der Arbeitsgruppe Semantische Datenmodelle (SDM) eine Software namens „Tree3D“ entwickelt, mit der sich tabellarische Daten eines Baumkatasters in dreidimensionale Baummodelle umwandeln lassen. Solche Modelle können dann in 3D-Karten verwendet werden, um beispielsweise eine Eignung von Gebäudeteilen für Photovoltaikanlagen (Solarpotenzial) interaktiv zu visualisieren.

The second call for applications for the mentoring programme for female master's students in STEM fields (Computer science, mechanical engineering, elec­trical engineering, chemical engineering, bio engineering, mathematics, physics) at the IAI has started.

Registrations for SS21 are possible until 2021-06-20!

The Institute for Automation and Applied Informatics (IAI) invites you to the regional policy learning lab (PLL) on the 9th of February 2021 (virtually). This event is conducted within the framework of the CE Interreg Project CEUP 2030 (Central Europe Upstreaming for Policy Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 towards 2030).

The KIT is a member of the consortium and heads the ”Trend and Innovation” Network within the thematic area of ”Intelligent Production Systems”.

We congratulate PD Dr.-Ing. Jörg Matthes on his appointment as Extraordinary Professor (apl. Prof.) of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Mr. Jörg Matthes is head of the working group ”Advanced Automation Methods for Industrial Processes” in the Research Area ”Advanced Automation Technologies”. He received the Venia Legendi in 2017 after submitting his habili­tation thesis “Ganz­heitliches Konzept zur kamera­basierten Optimierung industrieller Hochtemperatur­prozesse”.

The Baden-Württemberg Competence Center for Environmental Informatics (KUI), which is located at the LUBW Landesanstalt für Umwelt Baden-Württemberg, was launched at the end of December 2020.

For years, the working group Web-based Information Systems (WebIS) has been significantly involved as a research partner in IT projects in cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector Baden-Wuerttembergas well as the LUBW and other IT partners.

We congratulate our former institute colleague Dr. Jorge Ángel González Ordiano for becoming a professor at the Ibero-American University (Universidad Iberoamericana Ciudad de México).

He completed his dissertation at the IAI on the topic “New Data-Driven Probabilistic Forecasting Methods with Applications in Energy Systems” in 2019.

We congratulate Mr. González Ordiano and are happy with him.

Within the framework of the KIT-internal funding program “KIT Future Fields” as an excellence university project, the future topic “Energy Package-based Power Grid for the ‚All Electrical Society‘” could be won as a pilot project of stage 2 at the IAI. Prof. Dr.  Veit Hagenmeyer is responsible for the project.

We congratulate our former institute colleague Dr. Jörg Nagel on being awarded the Ring of Honor of the VDI (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure e.V. – Association of German Engineers). The award took place on the occasion of the board meeting on November 25th, 2020.

At the IAI he completed his dissertation on the topic “Neues Konzept für die bedarfsgerechte Energieversorgung des Künstlichen Akkommodations­systems” with honors in 2011.

We are pleased with him about the award.

A new mentoring programme for female master's students in STEM fields (Computer science, mechanical engineering, elec­trical engineering, chemical engineering, bio engineering, mathematics, physics) has been launched at the IAI.

Registrations for WS 20/21 are still possible until 2020-12-20!
