New at the university: Prof. Rottmann

Osnabrück University welcomes Prof. Dr. Matthias Rottmann! Since August 1, he has held the professorship "Practical Computer Science/Digitalization" at the School of Mathematics/Computer Science/Physics. A warm welcome!

Prof. Dr. Rottmann's research focuses on the reliability and efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI). To this end, he develops methods that indicate the uncertainty of an AI. This helps, for example

  1. identify image content incorrectly recognized by the AI,
  2. identify objects that are still unknown to the AI and
  3. detect incorrect annotations in data sets.

One application of Prof. Dr. Rottmann's research is automated driving. In Osnabrück, he is looking forward to developing the automation of agriculture as a new research topic for himself.
