We are delighted to announce that Prof. Jana Hutter has joined our research team at Leibniz Universität Hannover on January 1, 2026. Prof. Hutter is renowned for her work in the field of medical imaging. Her expertise will be a tremendous asset to our lab as we continue to push the boundaries of signal processing and machine learning.
Our proposed Special Session on Safety integration in neural networks for sensor systems in critical applications (NNiS) has been accepted and will be part of the 2026 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI). The session introduces a novel perspective by addressing the regulatory and safety integration of neural networks within sensor network environments.
The “Institut für Informationsverarbeitung” (Institute of Information Processing) is the home of machine learning at the Leibniz University Hannover. We focus on three main research directions, namely (I) computer vision & representation learning, (II) signal processing & -coding and (III) automated machine learning. Our methods range from deep learning, automated machine learning, reinforcement learning, image analysis, remote sensing and compression of audio, image, video as well as DNA to biomedical data. Our efforts are directed towards making efficient use of multi-modal and high dimensional data for reliable predictions, ultimately supporting end-users, developers and decision makers in a vast range of applications.
Since the foundation in 1973, the institute holds a strong tradition of cultivating connections to industry partners and jointly developing solutions to automatically process and harness information. Some of the developed methodology were successfully spun-off commercially as for instance with driver assistance modules, cochlear implants or component testing. The institute is also well known for being actively involved in the standardization of MP3, MPEG-2, AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265) as well as MPEG-G.
Do you want to join us? We have open positions.
