COMPUTER SCIENCEAlgorithms, avocados, and adventures
The step abroad was a deliberate adventure for Professor Sebastian Erdweg. When planning his research sabbatical, the JGU computer scientist envisioned not just an academic collaboration, but also family life in an unfamiliar country. As a visiting professor, he eventually went to the Universidad de Chile – bringing home not only formative experiences but also a major third-party funded project.
COMPUTER SCIENCEPowerful technologies may help overcome future challenges
How will the field of artificial intelligence (AI) develop in the coming years? What sort of risks, what chances will open up? Professor Stefan Kramer of the Institute of Computer Science at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is to find answers to these questions – in an interdisciplinary research project in which he and his colleagues will investigate core aspects of AI over the next six years.
COMPUTER SCIENCEResearch at the interface of disciplines
Thirty years ago the first Professor of Computer Science was appointed at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). A lot has since changed in this relatively recent field. This special anniversary is a good reason to take a quick look back, despite the fact that the professors at the Institute of Computer Science prefer to talk about their current work and projects. After all, the present and future are far more interesting to them than a brief history of their discipline.
