About us:

The Chair for Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (https://www.ai.math.uni-muenchen.de (https://www.ai.math.uni-muenchen.de) ) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, one of Europe’s leading universities, is part of the HighTech Agenda of the Free State of Bavaria. Due to the size of our group, we maintain a broad and diverse research portfolio, offering an exciting and interdisciplinary working and research environment. Our current research focuses include (1) Reliable AI, e.g., expressivity, generalization ability, and explainability of (graph) neural networks, and (2) Sustainable AI, e.g., spiking neural networks as energy-efficient alternatives to classical neural networks. Additionally, we develop mathematics-based AI methods for inverse problems and PDEs, as well as AI-based learning of physical laws, with applications in medicine, robotics, and telecommunication.
