The physicist and electrical engineer, Juan Daniel Prades Garcia, is an expert on semiconductor technologies and metrology. He is invited to Braunschweig to establish a research focus on ubiquitous metrology with the aim of developing highly sensitive quantum and nano sensors that can be used to reliably and comparatively measure the tiniest particles outside the lab.

No machine learning, no modern artificial intelligence (AI). But there are only a few people in the world who have the expertise to construct algorithms and teach AI systems how they should carry out certain tasks. That is why Holger Hoos puts his faith in automated machine learning, an approach to AI research which he has pioneered.

The human gait – which usually looks intuitive and natural – is an extremely complex form of locomotion. When you are walking, you are constantly defying gravity and have to keep fine-tuning your balance. This is precisely why the upright gait is still difficult to replicate technically. Mechanical engineer Heike Vallery studies gait and balance and develops applications in hardware and control technology for the rehabilitation of people with reduced mobility.
