The Centre for Industrial Applications of Mathematics and Computer Science (ZINA) combines well-founded, problem-oriented basic research with application-oriented industrial research. The speaker of the competence centre is Prof. Dr. Nicola Wolpert.

On the one hand, the method development carried out at the centre requires a sound knowledge of the underlying theories and procedures. For example, methods from the fields of number theory, numerical simulation, efficient geometric algorithms or artificial intelligence are used here. On the other hand, targeted application also requires enough practical experience, which our researchers contribute.

The research activities at ZINA are strongly interdisciplinary. Typically, they combine two or more disciplines from computer science, business informatics, applied mathematics and industrial measurement technology and surveying.

Cooperations exist on a national and international level. Partners are for example large and medium-sized industrial companies such as Daimler AG, invenio VT GmbH or Binogi GmbH. There is also a cooperation with insurance institutes and scientific institutions such as the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
