Revolutionizing Battery Technology: AI and the Future of Energy Storage

The quality of batteries affects many aspects of our daily lives: Will we arrive at our holiday destination in our electric car? Can we be reached on our smartphones? Does the hearing aid still have plenty of power late at night? Mohamed El Bahnasawi is working on making batteries smarter and more efficient as part of the EU Horizon Europe project ‘Battery Cell Assembly Twin (BatCAT)’. The aim is to use artificial intelligence to learn more about the processes in the batteries in order to be able to use them more efficiently in the future.

New research project: 20 to 30 per cent more energy efficiency for the metal processing industry thanks to artificial intelligence

The metal processing industry requires a considerable amount of energy, especially for sawing, grinding and milling. Using artificial intelligence methods, researchers are now hoping to increase efficiency by 20 to 30 per cent. The SAELING project is realised jointly by the University of Klagenfurt, the KU Leuven and the industrial partners Voestalpine and Siemens and is funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG at a cost of around 1.2 million euros.

The next generation of artificial intelligence, fusing intuition and rational thinking: Research team at the University of Klagenfurt participates in “Cluster of Excellence”

The capabilities of artificially intelligent systems are still somewhat limited at present. This can be attributed in part to the fact that there are two streams of research in AI development and so far these have largely been pursued in parallel. The Cluster of Excellence titled “Bilateral Artificial Intelligence” aims to combine the strengths of both methods in bilateral artificial intelligence in order to substantially enhance the performance of AI systems. On the 6th of May 2024, the cluster was presented as one of two new projects by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. Clusters of Excellence are regarded as Austria’s beacons of basic research.
