Inside the cleanroom
Guided tour through the ZEITlab
in German language
Find out where the microelectronics of tomorrow originated. The ZEITlab is a makerspace for prototypes and the technology hub of the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology. It combines neuro- or bio-engineering, chemistry, nanostructuring, microelectronics, measurement technology, assembly and interconnection technology and prototyping in a laboratory network.
Meeting point and registration
The guided tours take place at 10 am, 12 pm, 2 pm and 4 pm. The meeting point is at the stand of the ZEITlab in the main hall of the Mathematics and Informatics building. You can only take part if you register in advance. Unfortunately, all guided tours are fully booked.
Lectures
At our lectures, you will learn about exciting topics in mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering and information technology at first hand.
Mathematik für
Augen, Hände und Ohren
11:00 – 11:30 am
Prof. Jürgen Richter-Gebert
Professorship for Geometry and Visualization
in German
Mathematics is often perceived as an extremely abstract science. However, it can also be made accessible to our senses in a very concrete way.
You will experience this in the lecture using many examples. We will touch on topics such as rhythm and drum patterns, symmetrical ornaments, swarm simulation and molecule formation. We will also take a short excursion into higher dimensions.
Warum funktionieren einfache Trainingsmethoden in der künstlichen Intelligenz so gut?
11:45 am – 12:15 pm
Prof. Felix Krahmer
Professorship of Optimization and Data Analysis
in German
In machine learning, complex neural networks are often used and trained with large amounts of data. However, the training methods are usually relatively simple. This presentation shows why these methods work so well and how mathematics can help to understand them.
Better Robotics through Machine Learning
13:15 – 13:45 pm
Prof. Angela Schoellig
Chair of Safety, Performance and Reliability for Learning Systems
in English
The lecture is about making robots safer and better performing in their environments using machine learning. We use data (which we use for machine learning) we collect from the environment, past performances of the robots, and user directives to improve the robot control and actions.
6G-Mobilfunk, Künstliche
Intelligenz und die
Energiewende:
Zukunft gestalten mit einem Studium der Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik
14:00 – 14:30 pm
Prof. Thomas Eibert
Chair of High-Frequency Engineering, Academic Program Director for Electrical and Computer Engineering
in German
Using examples from the fields of artificial intelligence, the energy transition and 6G mobile communications, we examine how diverse the subject of electrical engineering and information technology is and show how electrical engineers are helping to shape future technical and social developments.
Understanding the 3D World through a 2D Grid of Pixels
15:30 – 16:00 pm
Dr. Hector Andrade Loarca
Postdoc at the Professorship of Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence, Prof. Daniel Cremers
in English
Computer Vision encompasses techniques and algorithms that allow us to reconstruct a 3D scene and infer semantic knowledge from images and videos. This talk will highlight some of the most celebrated applications of computer vision and the techniques behind them, including the ones developed in our lab.
Science Slam
Research presented up close and excitingly in just 10 minutes - understandable, funny and definitely not boring! There will be two sessions in German and one in English at the Garching Research Campus Open Day. Mathematics Professor Gregor Kemper from the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology will be there at 12:00 noon. He will tell you everything you always wanted to know about GPS. Visit lecture hall MW1801 in the Mechanical Engineering building at Boltzmannstraße 15.
