AI systems/AI hardware
Amir Shaikhha joined the Department of Computer Science on 1 July as Professor of ‘AI Systems/AI Hardware’. He is also a member of the Hessian Centre for Artificial Intelligence, hessian.AI. His research aims to improve how AI systems are designed to make them more productive, efficient and energy-saving. The 37-year-old researcher, who used to be an Associate Professor at the University of Edinburgh, says that winning the Dahl-Nygaard Young Scientist Award and the Google Research Scholar Award are the most important moments in his academic career so far.

Fachbereich Informatik stark vertreten unter Finalist*innen und Preisträgern
Wie können selbstlernende Künstliche Intelligenz (KI)-Modelle effizienter werden, ohne an Leistung zu verlieren? Wie ist es möglich, mRNA-Sequenzen mithilfe generativer KI so zu optimieren, dass sie im menschlichen Körper stabiler und wirksamer werden? Wie lassen sich in unübersichtlichen Datenmengen relevante Informationen automatisiert finden und strukturiert abfragen? Diese Fragen erforschten Tim Faust, Thomas Bangard und Jakob Steinke in ihren Abschlussarbeiten an der TU Darmstadt. Für ihre herausragenden Arbeiten im Zukunftsfeld Digitalisierung und KI erhielten sie den Freudenberg Award – Digital Science 2026. Von den insgesamt sechs Finalist*innen in den Kategorien Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten erstellten vier ihre Abschlussarbeiten am Fachbereich Informatik. Der globale Technologiekonzern Freudenberg-Gruppe verleiht den jährlichen Preis an Studierende sowie Absolventinnen und Absolventen der TU Darmstadt.
