Am 30.6.2023 ist es wieder soweit - die ganze Stadt ist auf den Beinen, um der Dresdner Wissenschaft auf die Finger, durchs Mikroskop und hinter die Labortür zu schauen :-)
Im cfaed begegnen sich Wissenschaften unterschiedlicher Disziplinen - bei der Dresdner Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften 2023 gibt es DIE Gelegenheit, einen Eindruck von den vielfältigen Forschungsbereichen am Cluster zu bekommen! Von den Dynamiken der Netzwerke über die organische Elektronik, winzige Maschinen aus Molekülen bis hin zum Sprung in die wunderbare Welt der Nanostrukturen: Hier lauert (neues) Wissen hinter jeder Ecke! Wir erwarten euch auf dem Kerncampus der TU Dresden, im Barkhausenbau!

cfaed Associated Member Prof. Christine Baier, as well as her co-authors Prof. Boudewijn R. Haverkort, Prof. Holger Hermanns, and Prof. Joost-Pieter Katoen were awarded the 2023 Jean-Claude Laprie Award for their paper "Model-Checking Algorithms for Continuous Markov Chains". The paper, published in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 2003, presents a unifying theory and algorithm to evaluate a wide variety of performance and dependability measures for continuous-time Markov chain models. The proposed approach inspired many researchers and provided a theoretical foundation for various model-checking tools, including GreatSPN, PRISM, STORM, and COMPASS.

What is life? How does a complex organism develop from a tiny egg cell? And how can salamanders even regrow lost limbs? A new hands-on exhibition of the Cluster of Excellence 'Physics of Life' asks these and other questions and shows how researchers from biology, physics and computer sciences are working together to answer these questions. The rector of TU Dresden, Prof. Dr. Ursula M. Staudinger opened the exhibition on 5 May, 2023.
