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).

Omicron appears to be pushing Corona statistics to their limits. The incidence is increasingly inaccurate, and the hospitalization rate lags behind. Experts therefore warn against being blinded by the current figures.

Our team around Dr. Jan Mohring supports with mathematics and simulation to approach the current dark figure in Germany. Read more in the Hessenschau article:

[The Video is only available in German] Employees of our institute are conducting joint research with IANUS and Fraunhofer IBP on the positioning of air purifiers. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and simulation, the placement is to be optimized. Not only the well-known weather expert Sven Plöger, but also our colleague Dr. Christian Leithäuser has his say in the video. 

The efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important. The state government of Rhineland-Palatinate also wants to combat climate change and is therefore promoting our »ENERDIG« project. Ministerial Director Daniel Stich handed over the funding notification to Institute Director Anita Schöbel and Project Manager Dietmar Hietel. [Only available in German]

Omicron continues to spread. Nevertheless, the increase in incidence numbers may soon come to a halt: PCR testing capacity is approaching its limit – and so is the incidence that can theoretically be measured at all. Expert Dr. Jan Mohring deals with this dark figure and gives insights to hessenschau:

As part of a network project at Hof University of Applied Sciences, our colleagues Dr. Jan Mohring, Dr. Matthias Eimer and Johanna Heidrich from the department »Transport Processes« will give a lecture entitled »Dynamic Simulation and Optimization with AD-Net Heat« in an online workshop on the topic of »Digital Twin: Network Optimization and Extension«.

The event series offers a format in which companies can present themselves and district heating utilities can inform. Our colleagues Dr. Jan Mohring, Dr. Matthias Eimer and Johanna Heidrich from the department »Transport Processes« will give a presentation entitled »Dynamic Simulation and Optimization with AD-Net District Heating«.

M2P 2023 is a platform to discuss the promotion of current and emerging trends in industry, sustainability and innovation. Our colleague Chaitanya Sanghavi from the department »Transport Processes« will give a presentation titled »MESHFREE for Industrial Applications: A General Continuum Mechanics Approach«.

ITMA is the largest international trade fair for textile and apparel technology. Our colleague Dr. Dietmar Hietel, head of department »Transport Processes« represents our institute together with a team on site. In hall 3 at booth A303, our experts will inform about the topics »Fluid Dynamics Shape Optimization« and »AI for textiles«, among others, as well as about the ITWM products »VISPI« and »FIDYST«.
