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.

Studies, School |

On July 18, 2025, the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) bid farewell to its graduates from the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs offered at the Munich and Garching campuses in the research areas of mathematics, informatics, and electrical and computer engineering.

News from the School

Studies, Awards |

Former TUM mathematics student Marta Piperno has been awarded the Master’s Thesis Prize of the German Operations Research Society (GOR). In her thesis, she deals with the development and analysis of algorithms for complex online scheduling problems.

Ranking |

The TUM excels in the Shanghai Ranking: In Robotic Science & Engineering it reaches 25th place. Overall, five subjects rank in the top 25, with Agricultural Sciences and Remote Sensing even in the top 10.

Studies, School |

The university of the future is learning with AI: During a visit by Science Minister Blume at TUM, AI tools like OneTutor took center stage. Initial results from the "AIffectiveness in Education" project show whether AI can measurably improve students' academic success.

Ranking |

Seventeen TUM researchers belong to the world's most frequently cited scientists, including Daniel Rückert and Fabian Theis from the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT). Their names can be found in the latest Highly Cited Researchers rankings.

School, Awards |

A win-win for both sides: At a ceremony held at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology, TUM President Professor Thomas F. Hofmann honored the founding director and CEO of the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security.

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.
