E-5 Institute for Biomedical Imaging
Prof. Dr. Tobias Knopp

Institute for Biomedical Imaging

About the Institue

The Institute for Biomedical Imaging (IBI) was founded in 2014 by Tobias Knopp and is a joint research department of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) and the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). Medical imaging is the non-invasive imaging of sections of the human body and plays an important role in the diagnosis, treatment and post-treatment of diseases. Effective, safe and high quality imaging is essential for many medical decisions and can prevent unnecessary medical procedures. Our research interests lie in the field of tomographic imaging, with a focus on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the young imaging technique Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI).  In particular, we are working on the hardware development of MPI systems, the research of new signal processing, image reconstruction and image processing algorithms, and the evaluation of medical applicability. In close cooperation with our clinical partners at the UKE, we also conduct translational research with the goal of bringing state-of-the-art acquisition and reconstruction methods into clinical routine.

E-8 Institute of Communications
Prof. Dr. Gerhard Bauch

Institut für Nachrichtentechnik

About the Institute

Research at the Institute of Communications deals with various technical aspects of wireless and wired systems for communication, localization, and sensing. Exemplary applications span terrestrial cellular networks, aeronautical systems (air-to-ground and in-cabin), satellite transmission, as well as acoustic communication/localization under water, and fiber-optical transmission.

The investigated concepts focus on the physical and medium access control layer of the protocol stack. For that purpose, methods of digital signal processing and error control coding with coarsely quantized data are developed, based on applied information theory. Moreover, energy- and bandwidth-efficient transmission schemes are designed using principles from machine learning. Other aspects include cooperative localization, joint communication and sensing (JCAS), and interference management in cellular networks, e.g. applying multiple antennas (MIMO).

Our research topics are available from our website (https://www.tuhh.de/nt/en/home) or from the info screen in building N (second floor, Z2). Please contact the relevant research assistants directly for possible open projects.

E-19 Institute for Data Engineering
Prof. Dr. Stefan Schulte

Institute of Data Engineering

About the Insititue

The Institute for Data Engineering strives to provide the means to process (big) data from, within, and beyond the Internet of Things (IoT). For this, we investigate and apply methods and mechanisms from the fields of data engineering and elastic computing. The proliferation of these technologies enables both small-scale and large-scale smart environments and systems for smart cities, smart energy grids, and smart factories. A special focus is on Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) aspects. 

An important focus of our research are blockchain technologies, both with regard to the application of blockchains in novel areas (especially the Internet of Things) and fundamental research (especially with regard to blockchain interoperability). Recently, a primary research focus is also federated learning, i.e., distributed machine learning which leads to benefits regarding data protection and communication overhead. 

Finally, we work at the interface between distributed computing and theory where we analyze systems, models, and algorithms from both an empirical and a theoretical point of view.

E-EXK5 Massively Parallel Systems
Jun.-Prof. Dr. Sohan Lal

Massively Parallel Systems Group

About the Insittute

The Massively Parallel Systems Group (MPS) is dedicated to researching and teaching computer architecture, with a specific focus on massively parallel systems. These days massively parallel systems are present everywhere – in our smartphones to supercomputers. They help us to do many things which were not possible before. For example, the recent stupendous success of machine learning, especially deep learning, is mainly due to the exponential increase in computational power. As such, machine learning is not new. Machine learning methods are around since the 1950s. What has predominately changed now is the computing power, with many-core processors such as GPUs as the main drivers. If these massively parallel processors are not utilized properly, they are very expensive in terms of power and energy consumption, which is not good as we aspire to reduce our carbon footprint. At MPS, we are developing new hardware/software techniques to make computing devices more performance and energy-efficient while also improving their programmability.

Keywords

  1. Computer architecture/GPU architecture
  2. Machine learning for computer architecture
  3. Power and performance modeling
  4. Memory system, memory compression, approximate computing
  5. Heterogeneous computing (porting/optimizing applications)
  6. Runtime support for HPC systems
  7. Harnessing AI for post-silicon validation

E-EXK6 Theoretical Computer Science
Jun.-Prof. Dr. Antoine Mottet

Theoretical computer science

About the Institute

The research group for theoretical computer science is specialised in the study of computational problems from the point of view of mathematics. We aim at understanding the complexity of solving particular tasks and in particular we aim at understanding why some tasks are computationally easy (say, solving a system of linear equations) and why some tasks are computationally hard (for example, solving a Sudoku grid). At the heart of our research is the famed P vs. NP problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem), one of the most famous open problems in mathematics and computer science. The tools that we use in our research are diverse and originate in fields of mathematics such as algebra, topology, combinatorics, or model theory.

E-EXK7 Human-Centric Machine Learning
Jun.- Prof. Dr. Pierre-Alexandre Murena

Human-Centric Machine Learning

About the Institute

The research group on human-centric machine learning focuses on the question of making humans and AI collaborate in efficient ways in various tasks, such as language learning, creativity, problem solving or even machine learning or statistical modelling. Among all possible interactions between a human and an AI agent, we study the specific problem where the AI agent plays the role of an assistant, providing advice and directions to the human. To do so, this artificial agent needs to understand the motivations and preferences of the human, in order to anticipate their potential mistakes and their reactions in general. This is challenging, becauses such predictions must be done with a very limited number of data and in an online manner. This research lies at the intersection of various fields: reinforcement learning, probabilistic machine learning, human-AI interaction, multiagent systems, cognitive modelling etc.

Human-AI interaction, Multiagent models, Reinforcement learning
