Nach dem Abschluss seiner Bachelorarbeit am ieet hat unser Student Benjamin Fritz federführend an der Veröffentlichung seiner Ergebnisse im Rahmen des Beitrags "Hierarchical Online-Optimization for the Control of Flexible Loads and Generators in Distribution Grids" auf dem "Power and Energy Student Summit 2021 (PESS 2021)" mitgewirkt. Dort hat Benjamin den Beitrag nicht nur erfolgreich präsentiert, sondern mit dem Paper sogar einen Best-Paper-Award gewonnen. Wir freuen uns über die Auszeichnung und gratulieren allen Beteiligten!

Die virtuelle Veranstaltung “Artificial Intelligence in Engineering” bringt jedes Jahr eine Vielfalt von Anwendern aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften und verwandter Gebiete zusammen, um die neuesten AI-Trends in ihrer Berufs-Praxis vorzustellen. Das Event wurde dieses Jahr eröffnet durch die Keynote “Machine Learning in Engineering and Materials Science: On Your Marks, Get Set, … Go!?” von den MLE-Mitgliedern Christian Feiler, Fabian Lurz, Robert Meißner, Stefan Schulte, Christian Schuster und Gregor Vonbun-Feldbauer.

Our institute congratulates Julian Golak on his successful completion of his doctoral studies. On 16 November Julian Golak defended his PhD thesis entitled "Optimisation on Waterways" under supervision of Prof. Dr. Alexander Grigoriev and Dr. Christof Defryn. In his research, he focuses on problems that practitioners in inland-waterway transportation are currently facing. The real-world problems are reduced to mathematical formulation and solved algorithmically. Each algorithm is supported by insights derived from theoretical analysis and numerical experiments on real-world data. Dr. Golak now continues his research as a postdoc at our institute.

Zwei unserer Wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter Stefan Möws und Béla Wiegel hatten eine erfolgreiche 'Reise' nach Finnland vom 18.10. bis 21.10., um ihr Paper mit dem Titel "Day-ahead Optimization of Frequency Containment Reserve for Renewable Energies and Storage" zu präsentieren. Aufgrund der weiterhin vorhandenen Unsicherheiten bzgl. Reiseeinschränkungen wurde die Konferenz online abgehalten. Die Präsentation wurde vom Publikum gut angenommen und das Paper erhielt zur großen Freude der Autoren einen Best-Paper-Award.

Am 22.11.2021 haben ca. 25 Studierenden der TUHH die Chance genutzt an einer Exkursion zur Harburg-Freudenberger Maschinenbau GmbH teilzunehmen.

As part of the continuous SENSUS seminar Prof. Dr. N. Gauger (Lehrstuhl für Wissenschaftliches Rechnen, TU Kaiserslautern) will give a presentation on "Grey-box modeling with applications in data-driven turbulence modeling"

Our colleague Daniela Eixenberger (Institute of Technical Biocatalysis) gives an oral presentation on "Smart Surface Enhancement of Additively Manufactured Structures for Biocatalytic Applications" at the 9th PhD-Student Workshop on Polymer Reaction Engineering.

A process calculus for privacy-preserving protocols in location-based service systems

Soil salinization has several socio-economic effects (on economic welfare, forced immigration, reduced GDP, social structure and stability of the community) and influences seriously ecosystem functioning (causing soil degradation, desertification, changes in soil structure and biodiversity and microbial community) and crop and food security.   In this paper, we utilized machine learning algorithms and comprehensive series of climatic, land and remote sensing data to predict soil salinization under different climate change scenarios in the 21st century. We could determine hotspots for soil salinization by the year 2100. Such information will contribute toward devising and implementing the necessary action plans for soil protection against salinization and degradation which is a crucial step for sustainable soil management and preservation. This is precisely at the heart of The European Green Deal, 2019 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals especially UN SDG15.
