8,000 open source models for sustainable mobility

More efficient car designs with AI

Designing new cars is expensive and time consuming. As a result, manufacturers tend to make only minor changes from one model generation to the next. With DriverAerNet++, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now developed the largest open-source database for aerodynamic car design. More than 8000 models representing the most common vehicle types will make it possible to create more efficient designs with the aid of artificial intelligence. The goal is to make development processes more cost-effective while improving fuel efficiency and making advances in electric vehicles.

Interview with Prof. Can Dincer on wearable medical sensors

Continuous health monitoring with wearables

Wearables such as smart watches or sensor rings are already a routine part of everyday life and are also popular Christmas gifts. They track our pulse rate, count our steps or analyze our sleep patterns. How can they already influence our behavior today and what future developments are possible? In this interview, Can Dincer, who holds a Professorship of Sensors and Wearables for Healthcare at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) offers insights into his research.

Artificial Intelligence in the Life Sciences

Why AI models often fail in practice

Artificial intelligence (AI) based on machine learning offers opportunities for the life sciences. However, problems often arise in practice. One cause is data leakage, the illicit spillover of information from the training to the test data. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf (HSWT), and other research institutions are now advocating for more interdisciplinary collaboration in a new guideline. In this interview, Dominik Grimm, Professor of Bioinformatics, and Markus List, Professor of Data Science in Systems Biology, explain why it is crucial to address this issue now.

Algorithm for particularly precise assessment of brain damage

AI pinpoints stroke timing with high accuracy

Quick action after a stroke hits can significantly reduce permanent damage. However, it is crucial to determine the exact time of the event to decide on the best treatment. A research team, including expertise from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has developed an algorithm that can determine the timing of a stroke with exceptional precision, outperforming current approaches by a factor of two.

WirtschaftsWoche research ranking

Number 1 in Germany for business administration

TUM is the strongest research university in business administration in Germany. The new edition of the WirtschaftsWoche ranking not only confirms the top position, but also shows the performance of individual researchers. Nine scientists are among the top 100. Ten researchers are represented in the lifetime achievement category, three are among the best business administration researchers under the age of 40.

Land use in tropical regions

Biodiversity loss due to agricultural trade three times higher than thought

Exporting agricultural products from tropical regions to China, the USA, the Middle East, and Europe is three times more harmful to biodiversity than previously assumed. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the ETH Zurich have shown this by tracking how agricultural exports from 1995 to 2022 affected land use changes in the producing countries. Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, and Madagascar are particularly affected by species loss.
