When the world’s biggest trade fair for information technology opens its doors in Hanover on 20 March 2017, there will also be TU Dresden researchers presenting their expertise in the field of Big Data and new information technology of tomorrow.

The Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) is funded with EUR 34 million by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in the framework of the Excellence Initiative of the federal and state governments. It conducts research on entirely novel technologies for the electronic information processing of the future. Scientists, headed by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Fettweis, coordinator of the Cluster of Microelectronics and Head of the Vodafone Chair Mobile Communication Systems, use innovative materials such as silicon nanowires, carbon nanotubes or polymers to achieve entirely new dimensions of energy efficiency, reliability and smooth interaction of components. Mother Nature hereby inspires the Dresden-based microelectronics researchers in the exciting field of biological communication systems.

The Centre for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) operates as a competence centre for parallel computation and software tools and as sächsisches Landesrechenzentrum (Saxon Computer Centre) under the management of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nagel. As a coordinated partner of the national Big-Data competence centre ScaDS Dresden/Leipzig, ZIH presents the latest research results in the areas of scalability and energy efficiency in high-performance computing as well as current activities in the field of Big Data.

Are you curious about the exhibits? For detailed information, please contact the exhibiting TU Dresden scientists at the joint stand “Research for the Future” in hall 6 (stand B 24).
