Why is the biological development of the human slower than that of the mouse? Japanese researcher Miki Ebisuya, who is invited to become a Humboldt Professor at TU Dresden, works on the biophysical mechanisms behind this question. In the long term, it is hoped her fundamental research will generate knowledge for the development of new regenerative therapies.

In most artificial intelligence (AI) applications, models learn from data that derives from a single information source. Additional data sources or so-called modalities can make AI models better and more reliable. An expert in multimodal learning, Marcus Rohrbach is set to become a Humboldt Professor for Artificial Intelligence in Darmstadt.

How do war and violence affect children psychologically? And how can children overcome such traumas? These are the kind of questions the psychologist Tina Malti explores in her research on childhood development. As the new director of the Leipzig Research Center for Early Child Development (LFE), she will be able to boost the centre’s international repute.
