Computer simulations make it possible to test emerging technologies and gain realistic, cost-effective insights into complex and previously unknown phenomena. This makes them an indispensable tool in scientific practice. At the University of Stuttgart, we are developing a new class of simulations: Data-driven and knowledge-based simulations. These combine methods and modeling approaches with huge amounts of data and knowledge models. In this way, scenarios and processes can be predicted more precisely and reliably than was previously possible.
We bring together leading expertise in engineering, the natural sciences, computational biomechanics, visual computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to revolutionize the way science is conducted. Building on our methodical fundamental research, we drive progress in targeted application areas: We develop innovative materials and technologies for energy generation and storage—making a vital contribution to the energy transition. We refine diagnostic procedures and enable personalized therapies for cancer patients and people with neurological diseases. In this way, we are developing unprecedented and versatile simulations - opening doors to innovative solutions for pressing social challenges.
We merge simulation science, data science, and knowledge technologies to unlock new frontiers in research and development.
