Kein Hoodie, kein Hype – Folivora denkt die Energiewende pragmatisch
Wie zwei TUDa-Forscher mit Handwerker-Mindset ein DeepTech-Unternehmen aufbauen
Ein Faultier als Vorbild für Hightech? Ja, sagen Maximilian Roth und Georg Avemarie. Denn Faultiere – Folivora – sind effizient, sie nutzen, was direkt vor ihrer Nase wächst. Genau das Prinzip steckt hinter der Firma Folivora Solutions GmbH, einer Ausgründung der TU Darmstadt. Die beiden Ingenieure verstehen sich nicht als hippe Start-up-Gründer mit Hoodie und Pitchdeck, sondern als bodenständige Handwerksmeister mit Doktortitel – nur dass ihr Werkzeugkasten aus Algorithmen besteht.

Machine Learning Accelerates Simulations for the Energy Transition
Dr.-Ing. Arne Scholtissek Receives ERC Starting Grant for “ProtoMan” Project
The research project “Protocol for Data-Driven Manifold Generation, Validation, and Utilization in High-Fidelity Combustion Simulations” (ProtoMan) at TU Darmstadt has been awarded a Starting Grant by the European Research Council (ERC). Dr.-Ing. Arne Scholtissek, Senior Academic Councillor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, will receive around €1.5 million in funding over five years. He is developing advanced simulation approaches that aim to support the substitution of fossil fuels with carbon-neutral alternatives.

New impulses for grid stability
E+E Insight Paper on the role of renewable energies in the electricity system
With the increasing share of renewable energies, it is not just the way electricity is produced that has changed – the behaviour and demands placed on our electricity grid are also undergoing profound changes. In their E+E Insight Paper “System Stability in Transition,” professors Gerd Griepentrog, Jutta Hanson, and Michèle Knodt from TU Darmstadt's IES profile topic examined how central grid functions are evolving and identified the necessary technical, regulatory, and political responses.
