Felicity Anderson will join us at the HiRSE Seminar Series to talk about “Who Do You Think You Are? Creating RSE Personas from GitHub Interactions in Research Software Repositories…”

Abstract: Flic Anderson introduces Research Software Engineering (RSE) Personas - a novel research approach for explaining and exploring patterns in how contributors interact with collaborative research software (RS) repositories on GitHub. The talk briefly covers how 7 RSE personas were identified using a data-driven approach, and what these different RSE Personas can tell us about RS contributors from GitHub API data. She will also discuss how this research is currently being expanded, and how the RSE community could use this concept in the future to support RSEs and RS teams to build their skills, build better teams, and ultimately build better software! This talk expands on the deRSE 2025 poster: Who Do You Think You Are? Identifying Research Software Engineering Personas From Developer / Repository Interaction Data.

Künstliche Intelligenz gilt als Schlüsseltechnologie der Zukunft. Doch was kann sie beitragen, wenn es um eines unserer wichtigsten und zugleich am stärksten bedrohten Güter, dem Wasser, geht? Und worauf müssen wir achten, um technologische Innovation mit ökologischer Verantwortung zu verbinden?

The mmWave and sub-THz spectrum is rapidly emerging as a foundation for next-generation wireless communication and sensing systems, driven by its immense bandwidth and sub-millimeter wavelengths. Yet, deployments face fundamental challenges: severe propagation loss, susceptibility to blockage, power-demanding PHY, and the breakdown of traditional far-field assumptions. Unlocking the full potential of these frontier frequencies demands physics-native solutions that capitalize on their unique properties.

This talk presents an ultra-wideband retro-directive backscatter architecture above 100 GHz that departs from conventional large-scale antenna arrays and significantly reduces power consumption. The migration to higher frequencies, together with electronically large arrays, has extended the Fraunhofer limit from a few centimeters to several meters, placing many users into the electromagnetic near-field of future base stations. Despite decades of progress in wireless communications, this near-field regime remains largely unexplored.

Programmable near-field beam shaping unlocks opportunities for communication and sensing. In particular, AI-assisted self-curving beams bend around obstacles, offering a path toward seamless connectivity in the presence of dynamic blockages. Finally, unprecedented application domains of mmWave/sub-THz sensing and imaging across disciplines such as agriculture and robotics highlight the transformative potential of these frontier bands.

Learning Objectives:
– Analyze the physical and architectural challenges of mmWave and sub-THz communication systems.
– Evaluate innovative near-field beamforming and sensing techniques for overcoming propagation limitations.
– Highlight unprecedented application domains of mmWave/sub-THz sensing and imaging across disciplines.

Im Rahmen der Reihe „Hinter den Bildern. Gespräche zu Kunst, Recht und Gesellschaft“

Derzeit macht generative KI im Wochentakt rasante Fortschritte, Systeme wie ChatGPT, Midjourney oder Suno bringen in Sekunden Bilder, Texte, Musik und Filme hervor. Während die KI-Schöpfungen selbst gemeinfrei sind, bedienen sich die Programme oft bei urheberrechtlich geschützten Werken. Diese Schieflage ist Stoff für heftige Konflikte zwischen Künstler:innen und Tech-Unternehmen und wirft die Frage auf, inwiefern das Urheberrecht die kreativen Leistungen Einzelner im KI-Zeitalter noch schützen kann. Der gerade in Kraft getretene „AI Act“, das weltweit erste Gesetz zur Regulierung von KI in der EU, spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle und verändert die Situation. Stehen wir am Übergang in ein neues Zeitalter in der Kunst, in dem die menschliche Schöpfung hinter die technologische zurücktritt?

Darüber diskutiert Prof. Dr. Linda Kuschel, Juniorprofessorin für Bürgerliches Recht, Immaterialgüterrecht sowie Recht und Digitalisierung mit Julian van Dieken, Fotograf, Videoproduzent, Medienreferent und KI-Künstler und Julia Laatsch, Fotografin, Vorständin des Deutschen Fotorats und Beirätin des Berufsverbands FREELENS e.V.
Moderation: Ralf Schlüter, Kulturjournalist und Gründer der Agentur Kulturbotschaft

This Dagstuhl Seminar seeks to ignite a focused dialogue on the strategic positioning and practical implementation of digital transformation in scientific research. Central to our discussion will be the role of Digital Centers or Hubs as flagship components of modern research infrastructure and the significance of Research Software Engineering (RSE) and Research Data Management (RDM) as essential enablers of their success.

The seminar's guiding question is: How can digital transformation be effectively embedded in the research landscape? Should it be steered centrally via comprehensive digital centers or emerge through decentralized, institution-driven initiatives? We will explore the strengths, limitations, and potential synergies of both models, with the goal of deriving actionable insights for sustainable digital infrastructure strategies.

Another focus is on the tension between disciplinary specificity and transdisciplinarity: Should digital competence centers closely align with specific research domains, or should they work across disciplines to foster collaboration and shared innovation? Understanding this balance is crucial for building effective, scalable digital ecosystems across institutions and research communities.
