From Applied Informatics to Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity

From January 1, 2021, we have changed our official name into Department of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity. The old name (Department of Applied Informatics) was somewhat unspecific, and the new name should reflect the majority of work carried out at the department. The downside is of course that it does not perfectly cover all activities that are going on (but also in the past the department had some significant theoretical output, despite its name).
Maybe you have noticed that there is a new MSc programme of the same name (https://www.aau.at/en/studien/master-artificial-intelligence-and-cybersecurity/) – the interesting bit is that the same name was suggested independently for these two entities, but the department is also the main driving force behind the programme.

Melanie Schranz: A woman’s journey into the realm of technology and to her dream job

Our graduate Melanie Schranz couldn’t get enough of the exciting research topics at the Department of Networked and Embedded Systems.

Together, we look back at an exciting past and talk about the latest research topics at Lakeside Labs.
