Welcome to IAM-MMS
The Institute for Applied Materials - Microstructure Modelling and Simulation (IAM-MMS) is engaged in research, teaching and transfer of knowledge about mechanical and micro-structural properties of materials and component evaluation. We deal with fundamental as well as application-oriented questions.

In the course of the Hector Seminar, two students are working on a research project at the IAM-MMS this school year 22/23, which originates from the cooperation with Heidelberg University Hospital. In order to automatically determine the contrast bolus arrival in dynamic MRI images of the lung, a LSTM network was trained and successfully tested. With their results, the two students are also participating in the osKarl competition of the EFFEKTE science festival.
