A sphere is a sphere, no matter how large it is or where it is located. Mathematically speaking, it is a geometric shape that is calculated using algebraic equations. And a case for experts such as Dr. Victoria Hoskins, new mathematican-Prof. at University of Duisburg-Essen.
Cosmic radiation shapes events in dark regions of space. An international team has measured for the first time how high-energy particles alter the gas in a dark cloud. Dr. Brandt Gaches provided models, observations were made using the James Webb Telescope.
What are the technical foundations of reliable, secure, and transparent IT systems? And what role does Artificial Intelligence (AI) play in this context? These are the questions driving the research of the new Professor for Trustworthy Systems Dr. Alexandra Dmitrienko.
AI is taking on more and more tasks in software development. But this does not always go smoothly. In a new project, Prof. Andreas Vogelsang (paluno) investigates how precise language influences the results of AI-supported development. The project is funded by the DFG.
The complex microbial communities in rivers and streams are essential for stable ecosystems. However, microbes in sediment are under constant stress. This has been revealed by a study led by Prof. Alexander Probst.
A world without plastic? Unthinkable. Prof. Dr. Erna K. Wieduwilt researches how it can be recycled and draws on a natural principle: the enzymatic degradation of plant biomass. The Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry is receiving funding from two sources.
Dr. Juba Bouaziz works on the development of new materials for ultra-efficient computer architectures. He designs structures for neuromorphic computing and quantum computing. The theoretical physicist will establish his own junior research group at the UDE.
Today’s opening with NRW Minister Ina Brandes marked the launch of the UA Ruhr College in Essen, uniting top-level research in the social sciences and humanities across the three universities and strengthening international scholarly collaboration.
When courses in economics are offered, the person teaching is usually a man. Only 15 per cent of economics professorships in German-speaking countries are held by women. Economists are investigating the reasons for this under-representation.
Seven scientists from the University of Duisburg-Essen are among the ‘Highly Cited Researchers 2025’. The award honours particularly influential researchers whose work has been cited exceptionally often worldwide over many years.
Freshwater ecosystems are losing species faster than any other ecosystem under the influence of many simultaneous stress factors. Biologists have conducted the first comparative analysis concerning the impact of various stressor types on five groups of river organisms.
Like a light switch, an extremely conductive state can be turned on and off within seconds at the interface between two oxide materials using UV light. A milestone for light-controlled electronics, report researchers in Nature Materials, including Professor Pentcheva (UDE).
Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen are developing a dual novel therapeutic approach for aggressive childhood leukaemias: nanobody PROTACs with helicons that specifically degrade the enzyme Taspase 1 – tailored for the first time to different forms of leukaemia.
Rivers, lakes and streams are getting warmer – with consequences for their inhabitants. Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen have compiled the largest collection of data on the heat tolerance of freshwater organisms to protect animals and preserve ecosystems.
Making technology accessible to everyone – that's of Dr. Giulia Barbareschi's goal. She develops systems that promote inclusion and enable self-determination. She is new professor for "Inclusive Technology and Collective Engagement" at the Faculty of Computer Science.
