AI Research

Explore this month's insights into Germany's AI research landscape. Through its High-Tech Agenda, Germany is investing heavily in unlocking the potential of artificial intelligence to drive critical research in climate change, healthcare, and industry.

Whilst researchers at the University of Jena are testing their own AI models in practical environments to improve predictions of floods, droughts and landslides, researchers at Furtwangen University are using AI and data science to optimise upcycled particles made from microplastic waste as absorbents that can be used to filter polluted water. At the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland, AI is used to investigate the communication between beneficial and harmful bacteria in human bodies and the implementation of the research findings into new potential drugs. The use of machine learning as a safe tool for detecting medical conditions is also being investigated at the Forschungscampus Mittelhessen.

At Hochschule Bielefeld, research focuses on improving cell segmentation by using deep active learning to reduce manual data labeling. Ruhr University Bochum and TU Dortmund University examine how to measure the trustworthiness of AI systems through defined evaluation dimensions. In sustainable industry, Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences & Arts develops AI-driven methods for rapid metal recycling analysis, while University of Siegen works on next-generation sensors using machine learning methods. At University of Stuttgart, researchers design adaptive, soft robots inspired by natural movement. Complementing these efforts, the Deggendorf Institute of Technology introduces CAIDAN, an AI-powered cybersecurity system that enhances industrial threat detection by combining data sources and delivering explainable, context-aware insights for SMEs. Researchers at BAM are developing self-driving laboratories, also known as material acceleration platforms (MAPs), that combine machine learning, robotics, and lab automation to rapidly synthesize and optimize nano and advanced materials with high precision and reproducibility. Finally, the Doctoral Centre for Applied Computer Science (PZAI) advances applied AI through collaborative, real-world research projects.

Discover the versatility of the AI research landscape in one of Europe’s leading countries in AI infrastructure. From Europe’s first supercomputer at Forschungszentrum Jülich to a new AI-optimised supercomputer at the AI factory HammerHAI, deployed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), Germany’s large-scale infrastructure is expanding.

Scientists are increasingly using artificial intelligence to observe our earth system. This makes it possible, for example, to predict the weather more accurately or warn of natural events such as flooding. However, our planet and the processes taking place on it are too complex for most AI models—especially when they are changing as rapidly as they are due to climate change.

The research project »AI Generalizability in Non-stationary Environmental Regimes: The Case of Hydro-climatic Extremes (GENAI-X)« is going to develop new AI models that could be used for complex and changing environmental systems. These models will be tested in practical environmental research—particularly in the context of extreme hydro-climatic events such as floods, droughts or landslides.

Images of segmented cells are of enormous importance for biomedical research and diagnostics. And extremely expensive. Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now capable of cell segmentation, it needs to be trained with large quantities of data, which experts must label manually. Within the context of the “Sustainable Life-Cycle of Intelligent Socio-Technical Systems” (SAIL) research project, doctoral candidate Eiram Mahera Sheikh conducts research at HSBI to find out how this process can be sped up efficiently. She thus uses AI – more precisely, Deep Active Learning – as early as in the preparation of training data.

The image shows tiny spheres, more precisely the APAK12 product from PolymerActive GmbH, that can act as so-called absorbers to capture pollutants in wastewater. At HFU, these clever pollutant magnets are being combined with AI in various projects – helping to protect our waterways and the environment.

Medicines, chemicals, microplastics: even ordinary products can leave a dangerous mark on our environment. “Wastewater is like a mirror of our society,” says Prof. Dr. Matthias Kohl, head of the Data Science for Life Sciences research group at Furtwangen University. Together with PolymerActive GmbH, his team investigates how artificial intelligence can transform microplastic particles into precise “pollutant magnets” that selectively remove harmful substances from water. A new research project led by Prof. Dr. Magnus Schmidt takes this idea even further. The aim is to design the particle surface in a way that certain pollutants bind particularly well, while others hardly attach at all. “Ideally, we want to build a pollutant magnet that only likes certain adhesive partners,” says Schmidt. In this way, AI can help to remove pollutants from water more precisely – contributing to the protection of both the ecosystem and human health.

AI has become an everyday helper for many people. However, you can’t always trust its answers. The image shows a mobile phone with ChatGPT program.

Language models based on artificial intelligence (AI) can answer any question, but not always correctly. It would be helpful for users to know how reliable an AI system is. A team at Ruhr University Bochum and TU Dortmund University suggests six dimensions that determine the trustworthiness of a system, regardless of whether the system is made up of individuals, institutions, conventional machines, or AI. The theoretical paper is guided by philosophical concepts of Prof. Albert Newen, Ruhr University Bochum. The technical discussions are delivered by Dr. Carina Newen and Professor Emmanuel Müller from TU Dortmund University. They describe the theoretical framework in the international philosophical journal Topoi.

Metals have enormous recycling potential—provided their exact composition is determined and impurities are removed. This is precisely where the AlloySort project at TH OWL comes in. Led by Professor Dr. Markus Lange-Hegermann, the team is developing an AI-based solution for the copper and aluminum industries. Until now, no methods have been available to non-destructively analyze heterogeneous recycled materials and determine the exact composition of mixed scrap.

Using PGNAA, AlloySort combines high-resolution sensor data with advanced AI algorithms, including convolutional neural networks, to enable precise material analysis despite high levels of noise. A sorting and conveyor belt demonstrator illustrates how the system can be integrated directly into industrial production processes. Initial results are impressive: the measurement time for identifying metal alloys has been reduced from two hours to only one second. The next project goal is not only to identify alloy types but also to determine their mixing ratios.

Central goals of the circular economy include closing material cycles, reducing waste, and permanently keeping raw materials in the economic system. Achieving this requires innovative technologies that open up new avenues for recycling. Gas fermentation is a promising technology; however, some aspects are still in the research phase. The biotechnological process uses exhaust gases such as carbon dioxide as feedstocks to produce valuable products and enable a new approach to industrial emissions. With his research, Ralf Takors, professor at the University of Stuttgart, wants to help gas fermentation reach market maturity. He explains what is important in this regard in a video interview.

The microbiome performs a variety of health-maintaining functions in the body. The microbes can produce nutrients, dampen inflammation or displace pathogens. In order to fulfill all these tasks, the microbiome must be in balance. For the microbiome, this means first and foremost that it is as diverse as possible. This makes it harder for harmful microorganisms to find a niche to live in. If microbiome diversity decreases or harmful germs dominate, there is a risk of inflammation, infections or chronic diseases - and this is precisely where the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) comes in. Using “microbiome engineering”, Dr. Lisa Osbelt-Block and Prof. Till Strowig are specifically editing the gut microbiome to prevent disease. With precise interventions, the microbiome engineers displace pathogens from the microbiome and prevent infections before they occur.

Butterflies in your tummy, nervous stomach rumblings, hunger: Our brain and gut are in constant communication with each other. In fact, there are more than 100 million neurons in our gut. That is why it is also known as the second brain. The brain-gut communication is particularly intense when we experience pain arising from the gastrointestinal tract. When fear of such pain becomes worse than the pain itself, this is often the result of learning processes. Professor Adriane Icenhour and PD Dr. Franziska Labrenz from Ruhr University Bochum are investigating how people could be helped to overcome the vicious circle of fear and pain. In the Collaborative Research Center 1280 “Extinction Learning”, the two neuroscientists work together with psychologists, neurobiologists, and physicians to understand the processes of learning, remembering, and forgetting.

In this interview, Icenhour and Labrenz talk about their research and findings: https://news.rub.de/english/2024-04-29-neuroscience-second-brain-our-gut.
The interview has also been published in the Science Magazine Rubin: https://news.rub.de/sites/default/files/2025-01/RUBIN_2025_Extinktionslernen_gesamt_en.pdf
In the podcast “Kannste Vergessen? – Der Podcast vom Lernen, Vergessen und Erinnern” (Can You Forget? – The Podcast on Learning, Forgetting, and Remembering), various researchers talk about their interdisciplinary research in the Collaborative Research Center 1280 “Extinction Learning” (German only): https://open.spotify.com/show/17aiD35VDvxAkMwfLv4XTz

How can new technologies safeguard historic treasures against climate change and mass tourism? At the University of Bamberg’s Graduate School of Smart City Science, Rana Tootoonchi is exploring how digital twins can transform the conservation of cultural heritage.

Anyone who thinks that a “digital twin" is merely a static digital image of a real object should consider the term more broadly. Digital twins are, in fact, digital representations of physical objects, processes or systems that interact with the real object in real time. This means that digital twins are dynamic, bring data to life in virtual form, and render data utilizable. The idea of the digital twin has already conquered the automotive and aerospace industries as well as agriculture and manufacturing, followed more recently by the healthcare and urban planning sectors. But what are the untapped potentials of this technology in the fields of heritage conservation and architecture?

Find out how Rana Tootoonchi is exploring this question here.

There is broad scientific consensus about the negative impacts that most food systems are having on climate change, biodiversity, healthy diets, and livelihoods, yet food systems are essential for the sustenance of humanity. To identify solutions to this tension, researchers at the Center for Sustainable Food Systems (ZNE) at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen work toward food system transformation.

Prof. Dr. Ramona Teuber, speaker of the ZNE Executive Board and head of the Chair for Agricultural and Food Market Analysis at JLU Giessen outlines the approach at the Center: “Food system transformation refers to the transition toward more sustainable food systems capable of addressing both current and future challenges. Contemporary food systems face critical environmental pressures, including climate change and biodiversity loss, alongside health challenges associated with diet-related diseases. Reducing the consumption of animal products and promoting plant-based diets represent key pathways to lowering environmental impacts, improving public health, and fostering overall sustainability.”

Explore how researchers at the ZNE contribute to a more sustainable future of food here.

One of the key components for successful plant growth is soil biodiversity. The ratio of fungi to bacteria plays a particularly important role here, as it significantly influences plant growth and resilience to pests and diseases.

Until now, this ratio could only be determined through chemical analysis. The research project ELISE (Electronical Lab for Intelligent Soil Examination) has changed that. Hermann Ketterl, Professor for Measurement and Control Technology at OTH Regensburg and his team developed an innovative method to precisely measure the fungus-bacteria ratio without the use of chemical processes.

Prof. Roland Span, Ruhr University Bochum

Hydrogen plays an important role in all concepts for reducing CO₂ emissions. In principle we know how it can be produced and liquefied for transport – but these processes must be implemented on a much larger scale if hydrogen is to become the basis of a future global energy market.

To date, fundamental research is still lacking. Professor Roland Span at Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) is developing material data models that accurately describe the properties of hydrogen under various conditions and, for example, form the basis for simulations of liquefaction plants. The European Research Council (ERC) has been funding his work since 2022 with an Advanced Grant, worth 2.5 million euros for five years.

A group of researchers standing in front of a mountain

Water, energy and food shortages and interdependences, also known as WEF-Nexus Challenges, are some of the most pressing issues that have been affecting countries globally. Take a moment and find out how Professor Tobias Bader and his team at Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) and Stellenbosch University (SU) in South Africa work together to overcome these challenges.

Professor Bader and his team started the coop-project “HyREC²A” short for “Hybrid Renewable Energy Collaborative Climate Action“ with a clear vision in mind. It is set to establish mutual transfer of knowledge with SU in renewable energy systems to overcome the energy and water crisis. For this purpose, the intercontinental research and education alliance have defined three main objectives:

Establishing sustainable cooperation networks across the map
Systematic identification and initiation of joint research projects in the Western Cape
Development, testing and establishment of joint lecture modules

Students from Bavaria and South Africa are going to work in mixed teams towards achieving their objectives and solving the WEF-Nexus-Challenges. The project is already bearing fruit, as one realistic approach to solving these problems could be the combination of hybrid energy systems from agrivoltaics and the energetic utilization of invasive biomass.

You can find out what that entails and how it’s implemented here.

Marine science

In June, our focus is on marine science. This month, TUD (Technical University of Dresden) is offering interesting articles on topics such as Antarctic expeditions and sea-level rise. The Forschungscampus Mittelhessen is also presenting research from Justus Liebig University Giessen on seabird species and subspecies. The aim is to develop a better understanding of their populations and ecology. The Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg is also informing you about an excellent fellowship opportunity in collaboration with the MARUM Centre at Bremen University and the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). Make sure you check out the content below!

In February and March of 2024, four researchers and a student from TUD Dresden University of Technology participated in an Antarctic expedition. The research vessel Polar Star set sail from Australia and landed at the field camp on Gaussberg in East Antarctica. Measuring stations were set up on the mountain to track changes in the ice volume and obtain accurate information about the effects of climate change.

Gaussberg is an extinct volcano that erupted under the Antarctic ice around 56,000 years ago. It was discovered in March 1902 during the first German South Polar expedition led by Erich von Drygalski. In addition to modern geodetic methods and drone photogrammetry, TUD’s scientists used geophysical measurements and detailed geological sampling to understand the mechanisms that influence the ice sheet in its current state and future formation. Read more about the research and check out the expedition diary.

An ESA-funded study, led by researches of TUD Dresden University of Technology, reinforces confidence in our understanding of global mean sea-level rise by putting precise numbers and accuracy measures on individual causes of sea-level rise. It shows how the sum of sea-level contributions assessed on a month-to-month basis matches the total sea-level change observed by satellites.

Scientists test their understanding of sea-level-change processes by comparing the observed sea-level change with the sum of assessed contributions, that is, by assessing the sea-level budget. For this purpose, the project advanced and extended the analysis of data from earth observation satellites as well as from oceanographic measurements and numerical modeling. Read more.

Europe’s waterborne transport is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for approximately 13% of overall transport emissions. Thus, meeting ambitious climate targets is imperative and requires accelerating the transition to sustainable, climate-neutral fuels in this sector. The research project SAFeCRAFT seeks to address these challenges by developing, demonstrating the safety and viability and accelerating the adoption of sustainable alternative fuels (SAF) in waterborne transport.

Scientists from the Institute of Water Chemistry of TUD Dresden University of Technology are focussing on the environmental impact and hazard assessment of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) technology in maritime applications. They will conduct holistic assessment of LOHC technology for maritime energy storage, use and transport in desktop study. Read more.

Professor Dr. Petra Quillfeldt, JLU-Gießen

Despite being located far from any ocean, Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) brings together leading expertise on marine zoology and biology. Among them, Professor Dr. Petra Quillfeldt and her research group study a range of seabird species and subspecies to develop a better understanding of their populations and ecology. These seabirds pose special challenges to researchers as they spend close to the entirety of the year at sea and come to shore not even to feed but only to breed. This also means that these species are particularly vulnerable to changes in the marine ecosystem. To face these challenges, to better understand populations and ecology and to ultimately inform, and to advise conservation efforts, Petra Quillfeldt and her team cooperate internationally and apply innovative methods and technologies such as GPS tracking and DNA-Metabarcoding.
Learn more about her research here.

A young male researcher with short blond hair, wearing a white coat, sits in front of a microscope/stands in front of a blackboard.

Dr. Johannes Karges (born 1992) from the Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ruhr University Bochum has already caused quite a stir with his work on novel active substances against tumors and metastases. Only recently, an international research team led by Karges developed a compound that fights cancer cells without the presence of oxygen.
Tumors often contain areas of oxygen-deficient tissue that frequently withstand conventional therapies. This is because the drugs applied in tumors require oxygen to be effective. An international research team led Karges has developed a novel mechanism of action that works without oxygen: polymeric incorporated nanocatalysts target the tumor tissue selectively and switch off the glutathione that the cells need to survive.  Thanks to this new mechanism of action, tumors can be treated even under difficult conditions. The research group published their findings in the journal Nature Communications.
