Computer Science in Kaiserslautern

Study

Kaiserslautern is one of the largest IT locations in Germany with the Department of Computer Science forming its core.

Since the department was founded in 1974 three renowned research institutes have evolved from its successful international work. With 30 professors the department covers all areas of computer science and can embrace the importance of computer science as a key skill for virtually all sciences at the TU. The department can also take on the central role of computer science research and development in Kaiserslautern in the future.

Research

The Department of Computer Science and the institutes in Kaiserslautern carry out basic and application research in many modern subject areas of computer science. The main focus is the engineering-based construction of informatics systems.>

Conquering data series: Computer scientist from Kaiserslautern receives two million euros from the European Research Council

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded Professor Dr. Anthony W. Lin an ERC Consolidator Grant, one of the most prestigious research grants for European researchers. The computer scientist from Kaiserslautern will receive around two million euros for five years to develop new methods for analysing complex computer programs and proving that they are error-free. One core aspect of such programs is the presence of data series. Lin's team is initially developing theoretical models that they want to put into practice.
