Denn: Wer sich für den richtigen Studiengang entscheiden will, muss sich mit vielen Fragen aus-einandersetzen: Liegt mir das Studieren? Ist es der richtige Studiengang? Wie sieht ein Stundenplan in der Uni aus?

In 2018, Prof. Christian Plessl (Chair for High-Performance IT Systems) and Prof. Thomas D. Kühne (Chair for Theoretical Chemistry) have been awarded the Paderborn University Research Award for their project "Green IT: Exact Computations with inexact but energy-efficient computers''. The objective of this interdisciplinary project was to study the feasibility of the "Approximate Computing" paradigm for scientific applications. The main idea is to…

Professor Tülay Adali from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA, has received the highly prestigious Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander-von-Humboldt foundation, which will enable her to spend several longer-term research stays at Paderborn University starting from next year.

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. The INGRID project ("Informationssystem Graffiti in Deutschland - Graffiti Information System in Germany"), in which Prof. Dr. Axel Ngonga, head of the Data Science working group, has now been extended for a further three years and is being supported by the German…

Everyone is talking about Industry 4.0. Our world is becoming increasingly digital, as more and more data is available. These need to be used intelligently - also in strategic product planning. Researchers at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn are pursuing the question "How?" In the project DizRuPt (Datengestützte Retrofit und Generationenplanung im Maschinen und Anlagenbau) –“data-based retrofit and generational…

Die Frühlings-Uni, wie wir sie kennen, musste in diesem Jahr aufgrund der Corona-Pandemie leider ausfallen. Um den Schülerinnen trotz und gerade wegen der besonderen Umstände ein alternatives Programm zur MINT- und Studienorientierung während der Osterferien zu bieten, hat das Team des Projekts „Frauen gestalten die Informationsgesellschaft“ (fgi) das Onlineformat „Frühlings-Uni 4.0“ geschaffen. Rund 20 Schülerinnen haben das Angebot genutzt und…

Modern software now consists of over 90% third-party code, mostly from Open-Source. The company CodeShield supports software manufacturers in examining the external software developments for security risks and securely integrating them into their own software. CodeShield, a spin-off of the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn and the Fraunhofer IEM, was founded on April 23.

This year's graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics which was to take place on 10.07.2020 at the University of Paderborn, is cancelled. This is the faculty's reaction to current recommendations of the state of NRW and the federal government.

New system to supply buildings with electricity, heat, cold and fresh air

Vom Gründonnerstag bis Ostermontag kannst Du bei uns etwas finden! Zusammen mit unseren Partnern „Alumni Paderborn e.V.“ und unserem Ehemaligen Verein „Die Matiker e.V.“ haben wir eine Easter Egg Suche für Euch geplant.

What the faculty and its employees are now doing

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…
