For his work entitled "Adjoint-Based Shape Optimization and Optimal Control with Applications to Microchannel Systems", Dr. Sebastian Blauth, from the department "Transport Processes" received this year's first place ICT Dissertation Award of the Fraunhofer Group IUK Technology.

At INDEX 2023, our colleague Dr. Andre Schmeißer from the department »Transport Processes« gave a lecture on »Show Cases for Virtual Design of Nonwovens Production Processes«.

The recording of the lecture can be viewed here:

With wastewater analyses on Corona and the scientific accompanying study »Observation and Early Warning System for SARS-CoV-2 Infections« (»SentiSurv«), scientists of our division »Optimization« and the department »Transport Processes« investigate the transition of the pandemic to endemicity in Rhineland-Palatinate (RLP).

Producing infection control clothing requires a lot of energy and uses lots of material resources. Fraunhofer researchers have now developed a technology which helps to save materials and energy when producing nonwovens.

Together with our project partners, we are offering an online workshop as part of the conference. Marvin Schulte from the department »Transport Processes« will give a presentation entitled »The SEMSAI Research Project – Predicting the Development of Pandemics«.

Under the motto »tank.tech in transition«, transformation processes in the field of fluid and energy systems will be discussed and participants will take part in topic-specific presentations. Our experts Dr. Isabel Michel and Dr. Jörg Kuhnert from the department »Transport Processes« will be there with the presentation »MESHFREE simulations for spray applications: Coupling 3D modeling with efficient shallow water approaches«.

As an institute, we will be represented with an information booth where we will present career opportunities and everyday working life at the Fraunhofer ITWM. Experts from the departments will also give four presentations under the motto »Mathematics in Thirty Minutes – A Quick Insight Into the Exciting World of Applied Mathematics at the Fraunhofer ITWM«.
