Questions of cybersecurity extend far beyond purely technical issues. In his Distinguished Lecture on 12 November 2026 at the Duisburg campus, computer scientist and policy expert Ingo Ruhmann will examine current threats, compliance challenges, and the political dimensions of digital security.

AI agents are becoming increasingly fast and autonomous, but what about quality assurance? In the Distinguished Lecture on November 3, 2026 in Essen, Eric Bodden will present his research on scalable validation techniques designed to keep pace with the speed and volume of AI-based software generation.

One dataset, one model? This approach does not always produce the most useful insights, as a dataset often contains many different relationships. To better understand them, researchers at the paluno research institute in the Faculty of Computer Science have developed a method that clusters data according to mathematical functions. The key feature is that neither the number and structure of the functions nor the assignment of data points to them needs to be known in advance.

As the largest European conference in the field of Human–Computer Interaction, it will bring together more than 500 participants at the University of Duisburg-Essen from 30 August to 2 September.

Paul completed his doctorate in the Software Systems Engineering (SSE) group under Prof. Pohl. His dissertation focused on preventing data protection violations in self-adaptive systems.

Xhulja pursued her PhD in the Software Systems Engineering (SSE) research group with Prof. Pohl. In her work, she addressed the question of how AI-supported predictions in software quality assurance can be made more reliable and thus more suitable for practical use.
