Digitization is fundamentally changing society and the economy in Germany. This transformation presents us with completely new challenges and at the same time offers enormous opportunities. The required structural change in Lusatia and the Central German mining region caused by the phase-out of coal opens up unique opportunities for implementing pioneering concepts for coordinated societal and technological change.

Können in naher Zukunft lernfähige »Terminator«-Sensoren all jene Insektenplagen stoppen, die sonst ganze Ernten vernichten? Optoelektroniker und KI-Experten der TUD sind da zumindest auf einer heißen Spur: Sie wollen im Projekt »MemTrap« (Speicherfalle) gemeinsam lernfähige organische Terminator- Chips bauen, die »gute« von »bösen« Insekten unterscheiden können und nur die Plagegeister fangen. Das hat Prof. Stefan Mannsfeld vom Zentrum für fortgeschrittene Elektronik Dresden (cfaed) mitgeteilt. Er treibt das Projekt gemeinsam mit Prof. Frank Ellinger und Dr. Bahman K. Boroujeni von der Professur für Schaltungstechnik und Netzwerktheorie voran.

Congratulations: Jan Rajchmann Award for Professor Karl Leo!

PD Dr. Benjamin Friedrich, research group leader at the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) and principal investigator of the Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life (EXC PoL), has taken up a Heisenberg Professorship for Biological Algorithms as of April 1, 2021. The tenure-track professorship is located at the EXC PoL at TU Dresden and is associated with cfaed and the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering (CMCB). In addition, Univ.-Prof. Friedrich teaches at the Faculty of Physics. These diverse assignments already indicate the strongly interdisciplinary research at the new professorship.
