Research

Actually nine workgroups  explore  central, modern and  attractive topics in computer science::

• Data Management and Analytics - Prof. Dr. Christian Beecks
• Parallel and Distributed Systems (PVS) - Prof. Dr. Sergei Gorlatch
• Embedded Systems - Prof. Dr. Paula Herber
• Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis - Prof. Dr. Xiaoyi Jiang
• VISualization & graphIX (VISIX) - Prof. Dr. Lars Linsen
• Software Development and Verification - Prof. Dr. Markus Müller-Olm
• Critical Systems - Prof. Dr. Anne Remke
• Computer Vision and Machine Learning Systems - Prof. Dr. Benjamin Risse
• Efficient Algorithms and Algorithm Engineering - Prof. Dr. Jan Vahrenhold

They are well embedded in the national and international societies, and participated in several larger research institutes, specially the Exzellenzcluster Cells in Motion, the Sonderforschungsbereich Molekulare kardiovaskuläre Bildgebung(MoBil) and the founding of the European Institute for Molecular Imaging (EIMI) and the Center for Nonlinear Science (CENOS).

Aside of the Institut für Informatik there are several other groups in the WWU with activities in research and teaching on computer science. Topics there belong mostly to the field of applied computer science,  like Wirtschaftsinformatik, Geoinformatik, Bioinformatik and medizinische Informatik:

• Medizinische Informatik - Prof. Dr. Martin Dugas
• Situated Computing Lab - Prof Dr. Christian Kray
• Praktische Informatik - Prof. Dr. Herbert Kuchen
• Spatial Intelligence Lab - Prof. Dr. Angela Schwering
• Didaktik der Informatik - Prof. Dr Marco Thomas
• Wirtschaftsinformatik und Statistik - Prof. Dr. Heike Trautmann
• Databases and Information Systems Group - Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen
