Kaiserslautern. Detecting Rare Diseases Faster Thanks to Mathematical Models

Rare diseases affect more people than one might think, but they are often difficult to diagnose. On average, it takes years for patients to receive a diagnosis. In this project, our researchers are working with the pharmaceutical company Chiesi to develop a mathematical support tool that will help doctors identify rare diseases more quickly and test for them in a targeted manner.

The Shape is Decisive – AI-Based Particle Separation in Computed Tomography Images of Rock Aggregates Project »KIBi«: 3D Image Analysis and AI Improve Quality Control of Aggregates in Building Materials © Fraunhofer ITWM, iStockphoto

Kaiserslautern. The Shape is Decisive – AI-Based Particle Separation in Computed Tomography Images of Rock Aggregates

In the »KIBi« project, we are working with our partners to develop an AI-supported process that automatically separates and characterizes aggregates in CT images, thereby simplifying and improving quality assurance and production control in the building materials industry. It is part of a special transfer program run by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG).

Digital Twin for Tire Abrasion – Fraunhofer ITWM Develops Virtual Models for More Sustainable Mobility

Kaiserslautern. Digital Twin for Tire Abrasion – Fraunhofer ITWM Develops Virtual Models for More Sustainable Mobility

Tire abrasion is one of the largest sources of microplastics in Europe, polluting the air, soil, and water. With the SUMERA project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, with support from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, is developing a digital model that comprehensively simulates tire abrasion for the first time and makes emissions predictable.
