Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM

Divisions and Departments

At our institute, teams in various divisions and departments conduct research on exciting projects and develop customised products and services for our clients from numerous industries. Divisions are made up of several departments.

The focus is always on applied mathematics. Cross-cutting topics at Fraunhofer ITWM include Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, renewable energies, and sustainability. In addition, next-generation computing and Quantum Computing are future-oriented issues that our researchers are addressing.

Optimization

The core competence of our division »Optimization« is finding individual solutions to planning and decision problems in logistics, engineering, medicine and health.

Analytics and Computing

The division »Analytics and Computing« combines the strengths of the departments »Financial Mathematics« and »High Performance Computing« to drive innovation in the digital economy.

Mathematics for Vehicle Engineering

Our MF division is divided into two departments: »Dynamics, Loads and Environmental Data« and »Mathematics for the Digital Factory«. In addition, a team takes care of the simulation of tires.

Processes and Materials

In our division »Processes and Materials«, we combine our expertise in the creation of Digital Twins down to the material level to improve the production processes and product development.

Image Processing

In our BV department, we develop mathematical models as well as image analysis algorithms and convert them into software suitable for industrial use, mainly in production.
