+ Prof. Dr. TOBIAS KOCH, Psychological Methodology
+ Dr. KEVIN MAIK JABLONKA, CZS Research Group “Polymers in Energy Applications”
Thu 27.06.2024 16:00 – 17:30 meeting room of the senate (Senatssaal), university main building (UHG, Fürstengraben1, 1st floor).
Prof. Koch‘s research focuses on longitudinal data analysis (including panel and intensive longitudinal data), Bayesian estimation, psychometrics, measurement theory, multitrait-multimethod analysis and causal inference, either individually or in any combination. He also uses machine learning and simulation-based methods in his research.

The discovery of materials and molecules is a tedious, expensive, and serendipitous process. An important reason for that is that it requires a lot of experience and tacit knowledge to become good at designing new compounds. In the group of Dr. Jablonka, data-driven techniques are leveraged to address this information bottleneck to accelerate the development of materials that work in the real world.

In “MSCJ presents …”, members of Michael Stifel Center Jena, researchers from their working groups, researchers interested in MSCJ, and researchers in Jena with topics in the scope of MSCJ introduce theirselves and their work in short talks (30 min incl. discussion). The presentations are followed by the opportunity for further discussion. The aim is to meet exciting people and ideas (in a discipline close to the own or with a new unexpected perspective) and to find collaboration partners for solving research questions that could be adressed best with perspectives from different disciplines.
“MSCJ presents …” is planned to be a series of events, hold twice in each lecture period. In the winter semester, there will be one event at the DLR institute of Data Science, to meet the researchers and research topics there. For the second event we are in contact with our members Dr. Nina Hahn (UKJ, Department of Neurology) and Dr. Melike Dönertaş (FLI, CZS Research Group “AI in Microbiome and Aging Research”).
