5 Incentive Grants for Innovation awarded within the faculty of EEMCS

To support collaboration and innovation within the Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS) faculty, the EEMCS Faculty Board has distributed five incentive grants, following the advice provided by the faculty council on the procedure.

In the research category, 27 proposals were evaluated by the Discipline Chairs. Eventually, 9 proposals were shortlisted for further discussion, based on scientific merit, impact on faculty themes, and team excellence. The Discipline Chairs selected and the Faculty Board decided to grant the following three projects:

1. Physics-preserving model-order reduction for fluid mechanical systems using real-world data - by Silke Glas (MaST), Federico Califano (RaM), Nicola Strisciuglio (DMB).
2. Embedded Sensory-Motor Model for Functional Nerve Stimulation Interface - by Utku S. Yavuz (BSS), Nikolaos Alachiotis (CAES).
3. Towards Robust and Ethical Autonomous AI in Digital Markets - by Moritz Hahn (FMT), Sophie Langer (STAT), Janusz Meylahn (SOR)

In addition, the Faculty Committee on Education (FC-OW) has selected two out of five proposals for incentive grants related to education, vice-dean of Education Alma Schaafstal coordinated this procedure. The FC-OW selected and the Faculty Board decided to grant the following two projects:

1. Unified Assessment Pipeline for Learning-by-Doing - by Mader, Zaytsev
2. Incentive Grant proposal for a project on Automated Assessment of Mathematics - by Stoorvogel, Craig, Kula, Pehlivan

Congratulations to all the recipients! The Faculty Board eagerly anticipates the success of these initiatives and future accomplishments.
