The SFB 1270 (Collaborative Research Centre (CRC)) ELAINE is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). In the third funding period, CDMA contributes to the CRC research program through subproject A07. The aim of the subproject is to develop a multiscale model of angiogenesis and of the influence of electrical stimulation on the healing of bone and articular cartilage defects. This model is intended to serve as a basis for simulating bone remodeling, since angiogenesis is considered a key factor in bone healing. Likewise, the vascularization of the bone beneath the articular cartilage, which is essential for nutrient supply, is also explicitly modeled. In addition, a multiscale model of the chondrocytic response to electrical stimulation is being established. Coupling these models is expected to provide insights into how stimulation parameters or the design of implant scaffolds can be specifically optimized.

Cmart is a collaboration between DESY, University of Göttingen, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Fraunhofer Research Institution for Individualized Medical Technology and Engineering and the University of Rostock. 

In the scope of this project, CDMA will work on the development of meta data schemas, as well as their ontology-based implementation in electronic laboratory notebooks like herbie or eLabFTW. Furthermore, CDMA will improve the user experience around the creation of ontology-based meta data schemas by developing and providing various graphical user interfaces. Also CDMA will work on an automatic log-file parser to extract valuable information directly from the data logged by the accelerators at DESY during experiments and measurements. This information gets stored under FAIR-principles so that the data can be easily searched, accessed and processed in later experiments.

DesignAssist is a collaborative project led by FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS AG aimed at developing AI-based systems for the design of new ships and retrofits. In this project, the CDMA Chair at the University of Rostock will develop AI-supported methods for automated ship hull generation and accelerated hydrodynamic evaluation. Image-based deep learning methods will be used for this purpose and integrated into a common optimization framework.

The association Inno-Comp NH3 Shipping develops innovative components and concepts for the operation of ship motors using NH3. The project is coordinated by the Department of Piston Machines and Internal Combustion Engines of the University of Rostock. CDMA will perform automated image processing for the assessment of material damage and develop a model to predict the damage progress and lifetime of motor components.
