Exploring the potential of Explainable AI for the Qualification of Aircraft Quality Assurance Processes
19.07.2024: ProMat student Pascal Dinglinger presented a collaborative work on the potential role of explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) in the development and qualification of perspective Aircraft Quality Assurance Processes. The respective case study utilised a computer vision-based model trained to predict material defects from process monitoring data in additive manufacturing. His and his colleagues' perspectives on an application context stimulated interesting interdisciplinary discussions with the conference audience. Our congratulations to Pascal on this successful conference contribution.

Great joy for ProMat graduate Maylin Homfeldt and the team of the ProMat study programme!
With a final grade of 1.04, Maylin Homfeldt completed her Master's degree programme with the predicate "with distinction" and achieving the best final grade of all previous Master's graduates from our programme. Her Master's thesis "Image-based analysis of component geometry throughout the binder jetting process" was awarded a straight 1.0!
We congratulate Maylin on her great success and wish her all the best for her professional and academic future.
Maylin Homfeldt is currently working as a research scientist in the Lightweight Materials and Materials Science departments at the Leibniz - IWT.
Our former Master's student Jan Yorrik Dietrich was awarded 3rd place in the Hamburg Aviation Young Talent Award for his Master's thesis "Ultrasonic welding of thermoplastic composites: Explicit dynamic analysis of heating mechanisms". We take this opportunity to talk to him about it. Click here for the interview.
Jan Yorrick Dietrich is currently working as a research assistant at the Fibre Institute Bremen in the area of modelling and simulation.
Eric Macke has won this year's Bremen Study Award for his thesis "Copper hexacyanoferrate as cathode material - an in-depth theoretical investigation with electronic structure methods"!
We had the chance to talk to him about this award and his plans for the future: here
Eric Macke is currently working as a PhD researcher in the Hybrid Materials Interfaces Group at the University Bremen.
The open curriculum offers the greatest possible freedom in designing one's own course of study around the individual study or research focus. Read more here.
Parallel to lectures, courses and the obligatory research stay abroad, students in the ProMat programme will be directly involved in the research activities of the University of Bremen: The ProMat course of study.
Research focus - supported by the individual curriculum and student work at the Faserinstitut (FIBRE). A report by ProMat student Jan Yorrick Dietrich: more.
The student Eric Macke spent four weeks of the mandatory research stay abroad at the Imperial College in London. Read more here.
In February 2018, an article was published in Bremen Uni-Schlüssel under the title "Jetzt studiere ich komplett quer" about the Process-Oriented Materials Research, ProMat degree programme: more.
The Research processes module prepares students for working in an academic context. On the one hand, it teaches research-related methodological skills and, on the other, reinforces social skills.
As part of this module, students already successfully published articles in the Science Blog of the University of Bremen:
Jan Yorrick Dietrich - An integrated approach to improve optical measurement systems
Manuel Vollbrecht - Wie wir selbst zu Spiderman werden können
Maylin Homfeldt - Was eine Torte mit Metall-3D-Druck gemeinsam hat
Julius Bihler - Houston, der Treibstoff schwappt…
Artem Schurig - Roboter als Teammitglieder?
Wiebke Hoes - Feueralarm auf der ISS
