Mathematicians from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems Magdeburg are participating in a joint project with the TU Chemnitz and the TU Ilmenau, in which computer simulations and mathematical models are specifically adapted to the data and the situation in Germany in order to derive predictions about the course of infection in the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dr.-Ing. Marcus Wenzel, alumnus of the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems Magdeburg, has developed and optimized a new chemical process in the course of his doctorate, with which synthesis gas for the production of methanol or fuels can in future be efficiently obtained from non-fossil source materials such as carbon dioxide and solar energy. He has now been awarded the Otto Hahn Medal at the Annual Meeting of the Max Planck Society.

In the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 287 "BULK-REACTION", which has just been approved by the German Research Foundation DFG with almost 10 million euros, around 40 scientists from the universities of Magdeburg and Bochum will use computer simulation models within the next four years to make particle production processes, which up to now have been difficult to control but are very energy-intensive, more manageable and thus much more energy-efficient.

The CDS member Prof. Dr. Inna Lavrik and her research team "Transnational Inflammation Research" at the Otto von Guericke Universtiy Magdeburg have found a new substance through application of a new strategy which supports a contrallable death of cancer cells. By combining computer-based procedures with experimental analyses, new insights for treatment strategies against tumors were gained. 

The "Anything with math podcast from Magdeburg" of the CDS member Prof. Dr. Thomas Kahle presents and discusses in its around 30 minutes episodes topics like "Math on the Internet", "Open Questions" - unsolved  problems of Mathematics  and "What is proof?".
