Coordinated Projects

Ziel von openCost ist die Schaffung einer technischen Infrastruktur, mit der Publikationskosten über standardisierte Schnittstellen und Formate frei zugänglich abgerufen werden können. So soll eine Kostentransparenz auf institutioneller, nationaler und internationaler Ebene ermöglicht werden. [...]

The upcoming high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC requires an increase in simulated data. Due to the high computational cost of detector simulation, this demand threatens to surpass the computational resources. [...]

The subject of this thesis is the efficient simulation of nonlinear optical phenomena, especially frequency mixing processes. Unlike linear optics, where the response of the material to light remains constant regardless of the light's intensity, in nonlinear optics, this response varies as a function of the light's intensity. [...]

Large-scale physics facilities such as particle accelerators and high-power lasers are important laboratory equipment for industrial processes and scientific research. However, they also present some of the most demanding human-computer interaction (HCI) challenges in facility control and maintenance. [...]

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) offer unique opportunities for unraveling ultrafast dynamics in matter and for imaging biomolecules with almost atomic resolution. For these attractive applications of XFELs, deepening our understanding of the interaction of high-intensity X rays with individual atoms is essential. [...]

The lack of cost transparency in scholarly publishing poses significant challenges for institutions and researchers. Our project, openCost, aims to fix that..

Analyzing the similarity of protein interfaces in protein-protein interactions gives new insights into protein function and assists in discovering new drugs. Usually, tools that assess the similarity focus on the interactions between two protein interfaces, while sometimes we only have one predicted interface. [...]

We use neural networks to address the challenge of deriving dielectric coating designs from the desired optical properties. We show that our trained neural network can automatically design common laser mirror coatings types efficiently..

Virtual reality (VR) has become an important interactive visualization tool for various industrial processes including facility inspection and maintenance. The capability of a VR application to present users with realistic simulations of complex systems and immerse them in, for example, inaccessible remote environments is often essential for using VR in real-world industrial domains.
