Teena Chakkalayil Hassan: Learning about human nature from robots

Professor Teena Chakkalayil Hassan's career is closely linked to Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. She completed her Master's degree here and later took over the management of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems. She has also recently been appointed Vice President of International Affairs and Digitalisation. Her research focusses on the interaction between humans and robots. In the process, she has learnt that humans are not perfect.

Your love story - painted and told by AI

Paul Anduschus, who studied Business Psychology at H-BRS, sells personalised books with his company DreamyTales, whose images and texts are generated exclusively by artificial intelligence. Together with his partner Marcus, he searched intensively for the right product until one idea finally caught on: "Your love story" - a book that illustrates and tells the story of a couple, each time tailored precisely to the customer's wishes.

Roberta Hodel Porträt Wissenswert 11112024

Roberta Hodel: Anyone and everyone can learn maths

Roberta Hodel already had a talent for science and maths in particular at primary school. She was enthusiastic about everything to do with numbers, solving equations and looking for patterns and structures. The fact that she discovered her calling in teaching this passion many years later also has to do with a less than perfect exam.

Recognising challenges as opportunities

At the beginning of the millennium, Susanne Peters-Lange was one of the first female professors at the Hennef campus. Most recently, she headed the Social Policy and Social Security department for seven years. Now she is saying goodbye to her role as Dean. However, she is by no means letting her career slowly fade away. Both professionally and privately, the former judge still has a lot planned.

Kissa has "only coffee on her mind"

When you enter the small Meramanis café on Hansaring in Cologne, you immediately notice the wall-sized work of art on the right-hand side. It tells the story of Kissia and her four companions and their love of coffee. The mural depicts astronauts in a coffee cosmos whose helmets look like coffee cups because the artist thought "that we only have coffee on our minds", explains Kissia, a young woman from Indonesia who is studying Business Management at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg.
