The MDSI will also be present at this third TUM Sustainability Day. At our booth at the “Market of Opportunities”, themed “Technology for a Sustainable Future,” researchers will provide exciting insights into the diverse research conducted by our core members in and with data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Experts from Prof. David Egger's Theory of Functional Energy Materials working group will report first-hand on the use of machine learning for the identification and characterization of functional energy materials for solar cells.
In the Aidvice project, an app for cancer patients translates current, evidence-based expertise into comprehensible and individually tailored answers. The collaboration between Prof. Florian Matthes' chair and the Klinikum rechts der Isar hospital supports patients with their questions about the disease, even when no doctor is available. 
Prof. Sandra Hirche's Chair of Information-Oriented Control is presenting two innovative projects: ReHyb, an exoskeleton for stroke patients , and SeaClear 2.0, a robotic system that collects waste from the seabed.
Researchers are not only focusing on the seabed, but also closely observing life in the city. Growing urban development and the disappearance of quiet hedgerows are also reducing nesting opportunities for birds. To counteract this, a team from Prof. Kathrin Dörfler's Digital Fabrication group has developed various concepts for nesting facades in the BioLope project, which create space for birds in addition to living space for humans.

In keeping with the exhibits, numerous MDSI researchers will give presentations on the topics of “Energy,” “Health,” and “Life on Earth & Biotechnology.” An overview can be found below.
