The new Data Science program at KU has been running for a month. Reason enough to look back on the first weeks together. That's why the professors of the program invited the students to a pizza evening at the Hohe Schule on Wednesday evening, where a successful exchange between teachers and students took place in a relaxed atmosphere. "We want to offer our students, who have come to Ingolstadt from all over the world to study Data Science here, a place to go. At MIDS, the doors are always open and we are happy that so many accepted the invitation," says Prof. Dr. Götz Pfander, speaker of the institute.

One of Professor Ray's main areas of work is multi-scale modeling. She cooperates with geoscientists to find out more about the composition and structure of soils. “The microstructure of the soil has a direct influence on its macroscopic behavior. One focus of my work is therefore to build bridges between these two scales,” explains Professor Ray. As the composition of soils is not static, but constantly changing, this places particular demands on multi-scale modeling of issues in this area. Soil plays an important role in questions of energy, sustainability, climate and the environment - as a reservoir for water and carbon and as a habitat for microorganisms. For example, multiscale modeling provides the basis for simulating the absorption of water and nutrients by roots as well as ideal living conditions for microorganisms - also as a basis of knowledge for combating hunger.
