We started a new series at our website. Every week we will post a portrait of one of our many international scientists. The series refers to the people we show in our glossy 2015 calendar. The calendar features the presented people in very condensed style. For those who want to read more, we suggest to follow the blog series at our homepage!
Today we go on - we present you Sadia Moriam, who is a PhD student in cfaed's Resilience Research Path. To visit her home city Dhaka in Bangladesh, she has to travel about 8,000 kilometers. However, Sadia feels at home in Dresden, as she is, for instance, a fan of the special ambiance during the advent.Go to Sadia's portrait

The cfaed Chair for Compiler Construction, together with Prof. Chadlia Jerad from ENSI (École Nationale des Sciences de l’Informatique) and ENIT (École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Tunis) organized a Winter School on “Design, Programming and Applications of Multi-Processor System on Chip”. The Winter School was held in Tunis, Tunisia during the week of the 24th of November and enjoyed a not-so-wintery, sunny atmosphere with over 20 degrees.The school addressed different topics, from hardware (e.g., customized processors, hardware accelerators, coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures, networks on chip and multicore design), software tools and methodologies (e.g., high-level and behavioral synthesis, compilers and languages for multi-processor systems, electronic system level design and verification). The technical agenda was closed with presentations and discussions around the links between the embedded and high-performance computing communities. The school was sponsored mostly by the DAAD Transformationspartnerschaft program, which allowed to put together a high-end group of lecturers like Prof. Nagel (TU Dresden), Prof. Teich (University Erlangen-Nuremberg), Prof. Leupers (RWTH Aachen), Prof. Chattopadhyay (NTU Singapore) and Prof. Bertozzi (University of Ferrara) among others. The school was well attended with over 30 participants from different backgrounds and career stages (master students, Tunisian and German PhD students and local professors).More information here

„What we are presently witnessing in Dresden is very disturbing: Thousands of people are gathering in the inner city to protest against the “Islamisation of the Western World”. Of course are we all shocked and appalled by the atrocities committed by the Islamic State (IS). But to associate these crimes with all Muslims, all refugees and all asylum seekers is wrong and dangerous, and is playing right into the hands of right-wing extremist groups. Individual insecurities and latent fear of foreigners and the unknown are misused to generate aversion and resistance to refugees - exactly those people who need our help and support the most.Outstanding achievements in research and teaching are only achievable by close and trustful cooperation. Science is international! This is what life is at TU Dresden, where students and scientists from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds are an inherent and highly valued part of our university.The PEGIDA demonstrations are counterproductive to all our activities that aim for a multicultural and tolerant Dresden. TU Dresden wants foreign students and scientists to come to Dresden and to its University, and to feel welcome here. We must avoid that the current PEGIDA demonstrations may become the image that the world sees when they think of Dresden; one that portrays our beautiful city as xenophobic, scares potential visitors off and additionally reminds them of the recent Neo-Nazi marches against the background of February 13th.As rector of TU Dresden, I want to distance myself from these protests on behalf of the entire university and call on all staff and students not to take part in the demonstrations organized by PEGIDA and to continue working hard for tolerance and multiculturalism.”Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. DEng/Auckland Hans Müller-Steinhagen
