Tamon Nakano, for example, is breaking new ground at the DLR Institute for AI Safety and Security. There, he optimises physical simulation tools with the help of artificial intelligence. In this way, he is making machine learning algorithms more accessible and user-friendly for colleagues who are conducting research into fluid dynamics, aeroacoustics or combustion processes. Tamon hopes that a combination of different approaches will lead to both synergies and new discoveries. His international experience and contacts also come in handy to achieve this.

Tobias Haase is constantly coming into contact with new, highly specialised technologies at the Center for Lightweight-Production-Technology (ZLP) in Augsburg, a department of the DLR Institute of Structures and Design. The computer scientist uses these technologies to network robot systems, for example. This involves developing a common infrastructure through which all systems can exchange data. Where do his results find application? Primarily in aircraft manufacturing. Tobias not only encounters new technologies, but also ideal conditions: “Working at DLR is special because it allows me to realise my own concepts and ideas and conduct research with many degrees of freedom.”
