Our new project “AI-Based Detection of Skin Metastases for Therapy Monitoring and Molecular Resistance Analysis” has received a research award from the foundation “Forschung hilft”. The interdisciplinary project combines clinical dermatology at the University Hospital Würzburg with our chair’s expertise in artificial intelligence.

At the automotiveIT Kongress 2026, Prof. Dr. Samuel Kounev joined the panel “From Infrastructure to Intelligence – How AI Becomes Scalable” on October 14. The discussion centered on how companies can move from successful AI pilot projects to productive use at scale.

Prof. Dr. Samuel Kounev delivered an Invited Talk on "Serverless Workflow Engineering for Large-Scale Interdisciplinary Data Analysis in Earth Observation and Computational Ecology" at the Fall 2026 Retreat and General Assembly of Foundations of Workflows for Large-Scale Scientific Data Analysis (FONDA) in Berlin on October 5th 2026. 

At the International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) 2026 in Florence, Italy, members of the SPEC Power Research Group, led by Maximilian Meißner, presented their latest research on energy efficiency benchmarking, contributing to the ongoing advancement of industry standards in server efficiency.
