Two years after it went online, the Marvin supercomputer has become a central research infrastructure at the University of Bonn. The Institute of Computer Science, in particular, has played a key role in this development: At the community event, Prof. Dr. Maren Bennewitz, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Gall, and Prof. Dr. Petra Mutzel highlighted the importance of high-performance computing, AI, and data-driven methods for research in Bonn.

From compact language models to intelligent robotics and the mathematical foundations of complex systems: This year’s recipients of the Grace Hopper Award, the BIG Thesis Awards, and the Johannes Kepler Scholarship demonstrate the wide-ranging and forward-looking nature of Computer Science at the University of Bonn. Their achievements were honored in a festive ceremony at the institute’s summer celebration.
