Interview with Prof. Daniel Cremers on the future of AI

“The goal of AI is to make our lives easier”

Technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) are already affecting our everyday lives – from the systems that facilitate movie and music selections to language assistants that formulate emails. But what developments will come along in the coming years? Daniel Cremers, a professor of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), offers insights into the future of AI. The objective of this research is to improve the ability of machines to analyze and interpret image data.

Five ERC Consolidator Grants awarded to TUM researchers

Can electric stimulation help the brain regain speech after a stroke? Can generative artificial intelligence create realistic 3D objects? Can qubits, the fundamental units of quantum computing, be entangled using light? These are among the questions that five research teams at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) aim to answer with the support of prestigious ERC Consolidator Grants.

Strategic partnership on optoionics between TUM and Max Planck Society

World's first center for solar batteries

The world's first center for solar batteries and optoionic technologies is being established in Bavaria. The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Max Planck Society (MPG) have set the course for this with the support of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. With the SolBat Center, a unique research ecosystem will be formed to research new types of energy storage systems and develop applications to use solar energy even more efficiently and flexibly.

TUM partner school honored with the MINT21 Digital Award

Girls stem STEM

The Technical University of Munich – that’s top positions in international rankings, millions in acquired third-party funding, research at the highest level. But what’s maybe even more important: TUM is a place that enables young people to develop their talents, without which such achievements would be impossible. That doesn’t only start at university: As part of the “TUM Entdeckerinnen” program, TUM cooperates with schools throughout Bavaria to get girls interested in STEM subjects. One of its partner schools, the Realschule Trostberg, has just been honored with the MINT21 Digital Award.

New test method for reinforced concrete

Safe bridges thanks to new ultrasonic method

Reinforced concrete is an indispensable construction material for buildings, bridges and other structures. However, testing this material for its condition and safety can be quite challenging. A research group involving the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is currently developing a new, highly sensitive method for monitoring the condition of concrete structures. New sensors and computer-aided calculation models will make it possible for the first time to precisely inspect structures and localize the exact location of damage.

Designing large new proteins with AI

New method for designing artificial proteins

Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for designing large new proteins better than before and producing them with the desired properties in the laboratory. Their approach involves a new way of using the capabilities of the AI-based software Alphafold2, for which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2024.
