Students from TUM’s "iPraktikum" course offered by the Research Group Applied Education Technologies developed a photo-realistic virtual experience redefining the design review process at BMW. The project exemplifies the potential of university-industry partnerships to drive meaningful innovation.

Studies, Awards |

On July 18, 2025, the Walter Gademann Sponsorship Awards and the Kurt Fischer Award were awarded. They recognize outstanding theses by students in the Professional Profile Electrical and Computer Engineering at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT).

Studies, Awards |

Every year, the mathematics, physics, informatics, and chemistry student council (MPIC) honors lecturers who demonstrate a special commitment to teaching. On July 18, 2025, the awards for the best courses in the subject areas of informatics and mathematics were presented.

News from the School

School, Awards |

On November 6, 2025, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) will honor Professor Michael Backes as “TUM Distinguished Affiliated Professor.” The university is recognizing his groundbreaking contributions to cybersecurity and privacy.

School |

Six talented students celebrate their success at the German National Computer Science Competition at the Garching Research Campus. The Munich Data Science Institute and the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology organized the three-day final round and the award ceremony.

Research, Awards |

Niki Kilbertus, professor at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology and Helmholtz AI group leader, has received an ERC Starting Grant for the project DYNAMICAUS. It focuses on advancing the understanding of cause-and-effect relationships in complex dynamical systems.

School |

Making complex quantum phenomena accessible to the public: For this very purpose, the exhibition "Light and Matter" was designed by the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) cluster of excellence. The exhibition runs until October 26, 2025.

Awards |

A pioneer in medical augmented reality, surgical data science, and robotic imaging: Professor Nassir Navab from the TUM School of Computation, Information, and Technology, receives the IEEE EMBS Technical Achievement Award 2025 for his innovative research.

News from Research

Research |

Patients have more confidence in autonomous robotic ultrasound systems when an avatar guides them through the process. This was discovered by Prof. Nassir Navab from the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology. The virtual agent answers questions and can speak any language.

Research |

Despite major advances in genomic research, rare diseases often remain without a clear genetic diagnosis. An international research team, including members of the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology, now demonstrates how so-called “Solvathons” can help close diagnostic gaps.

Research |

Martin Schulz, Professor of Computer Architecture and Parallel Systems at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology, and his research team have developed a tool that integrates quantum computers into existing supercomputers and enables them to interact seamlessly.

Research |

For more realistic simulations of wave movements, professor Nils Thuerey and his team have developed a two-phase model. Along with water, the method also takes into account the interaction with air. This authentic simulation could also help to protect coastal regions against extreme weather events.

Research |

When he was a child, Niki Kilbertus wanted to become a theoretical physicist. Today, he is Professor of Ethics in Systems Design and Machine Learning at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology and builds algorithms that help uncover cause and effect.
