We are very delighted to announce that 14 new faces have joined the ranks of the TUM-IAS Fellows this year! For the first time, two Fellows are joining the TUM-IAS community as part of the new Philosopher in Residence Fellowship program which is financed by the TÜV Süd Foundation.
This time, the majority of our new Anna Boyksen, Albrecht Struppler, Hans Fischer, Hans Fischer Senior and Philosopher in Residence Fellows come from the United States of America and we look forward to welcoming other Fellows from Denmark, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and Switzerland. The Fellows will be hosted by seven different TUM Schools located at the TUM campuses of Garching and Freising as well as the main campus in the city of Munich and the University Hospital Rechts der Isar.
Two Fellowships for scientists specialized in the fields of Digital Twin and Trustworthy AI have again been financed by the Siemens AG and one Fellowship in the research field of Artificial Intelligence for the Built Environment is funded by the TUM Georg Nemetschek Institute.
