Cooperation with Jülich
At HHU, some professorships are structured according to the “Jülich Model.” This means that the appointment of the professor is made jointly with Forschungszentrum Jülich. In terms of research content, this primarily results in closer collaboration between the two research institutions. Listed below are the professors currently appointed at HHU through this model who conduct research in the fields of AI and data science:
Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Katrin Amunts
Prof. Dr. Holger Gohlke: "Computational Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Molecular Bioinformatics"
