The Centre for University Development (CHE) has again published a new university ranking, focusing this year, on subjects in combination with business such as business administration, economics, and industrial engineering. By combining business and law, psychology, computer science and engineering, many new courses have been established for example, industrial engineering and electrical engineering at Paderborn University.

Prof. Dr. Axel Ngonga, head of the Data Science (Dice) group at the University of Paderborn, is one of the scientists with the highest impact in the field of knowledge engineering worldwide. This was the result of analyses by the independent online platform AMiner, which announced in the recently published “AI 2000 Most Influential Scholar List” the 2000 most influential researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. Prof. Dr. Axel Ngonga,…

Since 2016, researchers from the University of Paderborn and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have been building a database that allows graffiti to be systematically researched.

Since the computer science rooms at the University of Paderborn cannot currently be used, the institute has decided to let the computers participate in the University of Stanford’s, Folding@home-project. The unused computing power of the new, fast computer systems has been made available for simulations of protein structures. This is important, in order to better understand the effect and action of the SARS-CoV-2, and therefore to be able to…
