In the TRA Modelling, scientists from applied mathematics, computer science, quantitative economics, life sciences, medicine and geosciences work together to gain a more comprehensive understanding of complex systems. By integrating diverse data and mutually influencing factors, models are developed that enable better analyses and more precise predictions. These will be used to tackle major social challenges more effectively.

News from the TRA

AI with Locality Awareness
The University of Bonn is hosting a new Emmy Noether Group devoted to AI methods. Junior Professor Marc Rußwurm is developing AI methods for fusing different types of geodata to arrive at a uniform geospatial representation. The German Research Foundation (DFG) will be providing up to 1.4 million euros in funding for the research group over the next six years. The Emmy Noether Program is a framework designed to enable selected postdocs and assistant professors on fixed-term contracts to obtain the qualifications necessary to hold a university professorship.
University of Bonn Researchers Showcase Projects as Supercomputer Marvin Turns Two
Two years after Marvin was switched on, the University of Bonn celebrated its supercomputer with a community event at the Research and Technology Center for Detector Physics. Researchers from various disciplines presented projects realized with the aid of high-performance computers and took the opportunity to chat with their counterparts from different fields.
Bonn’s Domestic Service Robots Defend Their Title
The University of Bonn´s NimbRo team convincingly defended its @Home League championship title at the RoboCup German Open, finishing well ahead of the runner-up. From March 10 to 14, the service robots demonstrated their capabilities in everyday environments. They understood complex voice commands, navigated safely through a simulated apartment and an unfamiliar restaurant, delivered orders, and removed laundry from the washing machine.
Researchers develop a ChatGPT for Portuguese
Large language models, such as ChatGPT, perform significantly less well in Portuguese than in English despite both languages being spoken worldwide. This gap has now been closed with "GigaVerbo". The team led by Dr. Nicholas Kluge Corrêa from the Center for Science and Thought at the University of Bonn is now presenting the project in the journal "Patterns". The researchers were among the first to utilize the new "Marvin" supercomputer at the University of Bonn. Nicholas Kluge Corrêa and his colleague Aniket Sen are both members of the Transdisciplinary Research Area "Sustainable Futures" at the University of Bonn.

 Highlights and Announcements

Get Involved in the TRA

 As a member of the TRA, you can access funding opportunities, participate in events, and build new networks. 

Membership in TRA Modelling

In TRA Modelling, researchers from a wide range of disciplines create models that can not only describe complex systems, but also analyze them.

Membership is open to all scientists who work independently in the research field of TRA Modelling and are employed at the University of Bonn or a cooperating research institution.

Directory of our members and their research priorities

Search for new cooperation partners within our network of over 160 scientists - we will be happy to support you with new joint projects or events.

Meet our Researchers

Inter- and transdisciplinary research actively pursued at the University of Bonn and is promoted across faculty boundaries. The faces of TRA Modelling are our Hertz Chair, our Argelander Professor and the numerous dedicated researchers.
