As part of the Day of Physics 2025, the Mathematics, Physics, Informatics, and Chemistry Student Council awarded the "Golden Chalk" for outstanding commitment to teaching. Three of the four awards were given to mathematics lecturers of the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology.

News from the School

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.

Research, Awards |

As part of her doctoral research, Dr. H. Ceren Ates, postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Can Dincer, developed and tested a biosensor that can measure antibiotic concentrations. For her dissertation she was honored with the 2025 Bertha Benz Prize and the 2025 Gips-Schüle Young Talent…

New@CIT |

She is passionate about virtual worlds, music and the mountains: Johanna Pirker has been professor of N-Dimensional User Experience at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology since July 2025. In our “New@CIT” feature, she introduces herself and her research.

School |

Gerhard Kramer from the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology has been re-elected by the University Council for a third term as Executive Vice President for Research and Innovation, starting on October 1, 2025.

Research, Awards |

Six researchers at TUM receive Proof of Concept Grants from the European Research Council – for innovative approaches in cloud computing, robotics, cancer medicine, drug development, and astrophysics. Four of the funded professors are from our School.

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, 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.

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.
