Zuse Institute Berlin
The Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB)

is an interdisciplinary research institute for applied mathematics and data-intensive high-performance computing. Its research focuses on modeling, simulation and optimization with scientific cooperation partners from academia and industry.

Uncertainty Quantification

How accurate are numbers inferred from measurements and simulations? “Uncertainty quantification” (or “UQ” for short) is a research area that has sprung to prominence in the last decade at the interface of applied mathematics, statistics, computational science, and many applications, usually in physical sciences and engineering, but also in biology, finance, and insurance.

An Educated Guess

Undercover Heuristic Solves the Case Buses, mobile phones, football: we encounter integer optimization problems in situations where we least expect them. In order to find solutions to such problems, you need good intuition – and also a bit of luck. This feature explains in plain text how this works. It won (in a slightly modified form) the Klaus Tschira Award 2015 for Achievements in Public Understanding of Sciences – KlarText!.

New KOBV-Portal
New KOBV Portal – discovery in 60 Libraries

Since the foundation of the KOBV (Cooperative Library Network Berlin-Brandenburg), the KOBV Portal has been one of the most important services for libraries and library users in the region and beyond. The research portal makes it possible to search 60 library catalogs in Berlin and Brandenburg simultaneously. The year 2015 represents a milestone in the further development of the portal. With the completion of Project K2, a modern KOBV Portal with a completely new face and new features has come to life.

Heading for the Sun

Where Quantum Physics Meets Photosynthesis Recent experimental results suggest that quantum-mechanical coherence plays a role in efficient energy transfer in photoactive complexes. The physical simulation of energy pathways requires designing new scalable algorithms for current and future many-core supercomputers. ZIB tackles this challenge in interdisciplinary projects bridging physics, distributed scientific computing, and visual analysis.

Smart Data – Smart Cities

Digital Infrastructure for Public Participation. The IES Cities platform is a novel and practical way of building the digital identity of a city. Nine technical partners, from industry to research, and four city councils are creating a platform for Internet-enabled services for citizens in the form of mobile urban apps. These apps are based on an open platform which obtains information from open government data and enriches them through citizens’ contributions. Companies, citizens, and councils interact and collaborate toward achieving a smarter city. ZIB performs research and development of the scalable, distributed storage back end.

Systems Biology

Towards understanding the principles of life. Biological processes involve different dimensional scales in space and time, ranging from molecular interactions to cellular signaling, tissue formation, and systemic regulation, for example by hormones. All these dynamic interactions are highly interrelated. At ZIB we aim at understanding biological and biochemical processes with a high spatio-temporal resolution by extracting biological structures from large-scale microscopy and by mathematical modeling of biological networks.

ZIB Annual Report 2016

 

The year 2016 was the 75th anniversary of the invention of the computer by Konrad Zuse, after whom ZIB is named. On May 12, 1941, Konrad Zuse presented the first fully functional digital computer, his Z3, in Berlin and the digital age began. ZIB celebrated this historic breakthrough by organizing a series of public events in which the computer as an instrument, computing, and digital science in general were presented in many of their fascinating aspects.
