Welcome to the Data Science for Engineering group

The Data Science for Engineering group focuses on the development of data-driven and machine learning methods in the context of engineering. In particular, we address the question how data from various sources may be used for the analysis, real-time control and optimization of complex systems. The latter case also includes the simultaneous treatment of multiple conflicting objectives such as maximizing the productivity while minimizing the consumption of resources.

Re­search

Our research focuses on the following areas

1. Data-driven model reduction, optimization and control of complex dynamical systems

  • Koopman Operator-based approaches
  • Machine learning for prediction and control
  • Reinforcement learning

2. Multiobjective optimization

  • Acceleration of algorithms by structure exploitation
  • Efficient training algorithms for deep learning
  • Applications in the area of machine learning (e.g., sparse regression & neural network training)
  • Efficient solution of expensive problems using model order reduction

Our research projects range from basic research to applications of data-driven and machine learning methods to complex engineering systems.

Net­works

SAIL

SAIL is an interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration of Bielefeld University, Paderborn University, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSBI) and OWL University of Applied Sciences (TH OWL), funded by MKW NRW.

PhoQS

The Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems establishes a strategic cooperation model for interdisciplinary research and development of new quantum technologies. It bundles expertise from Paderborn University from the profile areas "Intelligent Technical Systems" and "Optoelectronics and Photonics".

SICP

The SICP - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn at Paderborn University is an interdisciplinary research and innovation network in which companies and science jointly research and implement digital innovations.

CoAI: Co­oper­at­ive and Cog­ni­tion-en­abled AI

The Joint Research Center on Cooperative and Cognition-enabled AI is Germany’s leading center for interdisciplinary research and innovation on cooperative and cognition-enabled AI that features human-centered, embodied, and real-world agency in the sense that it is capable of acting together with humans in a meaningful and goal-directed manner.
