Neural Network Surrogates for Real-Time Optimization of High-Dimensional Neurostimulation

Neurostimulation is a medical and scientific technique that uses small electrical signals to communicate with the brain, spinal cord or nerves. It can help researchers understand how the nervous system controls movement, and it is already used in treatments for conditions like paralysis or Parkinson’s disease. However, one major challenge remains: to work well, stimulation […]

Instructions as code – instructing agentic AI models for changes in large projects

Software developers and companies are increasingly adopting agentic AI to implement software features. In practice, developers guide AI agents through explicit instructions that specify, for example, how to navigate the project, identify relevant source files, and test the generated code. Without such instructions, agents may blindly perform implementations leading to incomplete or incorrect results. While […]

Personalized Virtual Patient Simulation for Decision Support in Intensive Care Units

Challenges in today’s Intensive Care Units (ICUs) involve the management of patients’ life critical physiological systems. ICUs must constantly make fast and personalized treatment decisions (e.g. ventilation settings, fluid management, and vasopressors) that require constant monitoring, patient specific response predictions, and real time decision support. This project explores the use of Cellular Discrete Event System […]
