Episode notes
This episode was recorded in July 2026. Gudrun speaks with Chiara Sabadin. She is currently a researcher in Mathematics Education, with a focus in Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) in Mathematics and founder and co-lead of the Women in Mathematics group of the University of Regensburg. Previously, she has completed a PhD in Pure Mathematics in June 2026 at the University of Regensburg, supported by the SFB 1085 “Higher Invariants” and the DFG, with a work on "A cohomological version of Ribet's Method" under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Guido Kings. Even before, she completed her…

Modellansatz
Gudrun Thäter, Sebastian Ritterbusch · Tech & Science · German
Bei genauem Hinsehen finden wir die Naturwissenschaft und besonders Mathematik überall in unserem Leben, vom Wasserhahn über die automatischen Temporegelungen an Autobahnen, in der Medizintechnik bis hin zum Mobiltelefon. Woran die Forscher, Absolventen und Lehrenden in Karlsruhe gerade tüfteln, erf

Fractional Laplacian
Gudrun talks with Debajyoti Choudhuri. He is staying at KIT as a short term guest. He is Associate Professor in the School of Basic Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar, India. He did his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Hyderabad. His research interest lies in the analysis of elliptic PDEs using Functional Analytic and topological methods. In this he touches and has a slight overlap with the research of Gudrun. The conversation starts with the discussion about a small paper which Debajyoti put on the archiv. It is about understanding how to work with the Fractional Laplacian. This…

LLM statistics
This episode was recorded in March 2026. Gudrun speaks again with Nadja Klein and Moussa Kassem Sbeyti who work at the Scientific Computing Center (SCC) at KIT in Karlsruhe. As a new person in our conversation we welcome Nicolas Bianco. The research of the scientists in Nadja's MBD Lab is at the intersection of statistics and machine learning. It spans theoretical analysis, method development and real-world applications. Last time we focussed on Baysian statistics. With the help of Nicolas we want to examplify how interdisciplinary work is done and how his journey led him into this field of…

Diese Folge ist ein Türchen im Adventskalender 2025 von Wissenschaftspodcasts.de. Es ist schon schwer genug, sich geeignete Weihnachtsgeschenke zu überlegen, aber mit einer Idee muss diese dann auch erst im Netz gefunden werden. Für Kaffee-Trinker gibt es die Zwei-Wege oder two-way Kaffe-Tasse oder Physik in der Hand mit dem Handkocher von Empirie. Aber wie findet Google bei Stichworten die richtigen Seiten? Wörter wie Kaffee oder Tasse sind auf vielen Seiten zu finden, eine Suche einfach nach Wörtern wird viel zu viele Ergebnisse liefern. Der Grund, warum Google den Suchmaschinenmarkt…

Zielvolumentraining
In dieser Folge spricht Gudrun mit Alexandra Walter, die ihre Promotion im Mai 2025 am Scientific Computing Center (SCC) des KIT in Karlsruhe abgeschlossen hat. Ihre Arbeit hat den Titel "Deep Learning for Radiotherapy: Target Volume Segmentation and Dynamical Low-Rank Training". Ihr Forschungsprojekt bewegt sich an der Schnittstelle zwischen numerischer Mathematik und Krebsforschung. Das Thema erfordert einen Dreiklang aus Modellverständnis, der Analyse und Entwicklung geeigneter mathematischer Verfahren und dem sicheren Umgang mit medizinischen Anwendungsroutinen. Weltweit erkranken laut…

Bayesian Learning
In this episode Gudrun speaks with Nadja Klein and Moussa Kassem Sbeyti who work at the Scientific Computing Center (SCC) at KIT in Karlsruhe. Since August 2024, Nadja has been professor at KIT leading the research group Methods for Big Data (MBD) there. She is an Emmy Noether Research Group Leader, and a member of AcademiaNet, and Die Junge Akademie, among others. In 2025, Nadja was awarded the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) Emerging Leader Award (ELA). The COPSS ELA recognizes early career statistical scientists who show evidence of and potential for leadership…
