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.>

Um die Quantenforschung in Rheinland-Pfalz stärker zu vernetzen und zu koordinieren, schließen sich die Universitäten in Kaiserslautern und Mainz mit dem Deutschen Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) sowie dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Techno- und Wirtschaftsmathematik ITWM zur Quanteninitiative Rheinland-Pfalz, kurz QUIP, zusammen. Ziel dabei ist es auch, den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs in den Quantentechnologien gezielt auszubilden und für dieses neue Wirtschaftsfeld fit zu machen. Dazu sind unter anderem ein Graduiertenkolleg und Sommerschulen geplant. Ausländische Studierende sollen zudem bei Forschungsaufenthalten Einblick in die Arbeiten an den beteiligten Einrichtungen erhalten. Das rheinland-pfälzische Wissenschaftsministerium fördert QUIP für drei Jahre mit rund 1,2 Millionen Euro. Den Förderbescheid hat Wissenschaftsminister Clemens Hoch am 17. März an der Rheinland-Pfälzischen Technischen Universität (RPTU) in Kaiserslautern übergeben.
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.Newsletter of the Department of Computer Science
