HGS MathComp - Where Methods Meet Applications

The Heidelberg Graduate School of Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences (HGS MathComp) at Heidelberg University is one of the leading graduate schools in Germany focusing on the complex topic of Scientific Computing. Located in a vibrant research environment, the school offers a structured interdisciplinary education for PhD students. The program supports students in pursuing innovative PhD projects with a strong application-oriented focus, ranging from mathematics, computer science, bio/life-sciences, physics, and chemical engineering sciences to cultural heritage. A strong focus is put on the mathematical and computational foundations: the theoretical underpinnings and computational abstraction and conception.

HGS MathComp Principal Investigators are leading experts in their fields, working on projects that combine mathematical and computational methodology with topical research issues. Individual mentoring for PhD candidates and career development programs ensure that graduates are fully equipped to take up top positions in industry and academia.

Digital Innovation at Merck – Introduction of new digital technologies in a large enterprise organization
[]
IWR Colloquium
Speaker: Dr. Philipp Harbach • Global Head of Group Digital Innovation, Merck KGaA
Location: Mathematikon • Conference Room, Room 5/104, 5th Floor • Im Neuenheimer Feld 205 • 69120 Heidelberg
Registration: No registration required
Organizer: Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR)
ECTS: 1 for 5
The IWR Colloquium serves as a platform for the interdisciplinary dialogue which characterizes the field of scientific computing. Every semester, members of the IWR and its affiliated institutions as well as renowned international experts are invited to present their latest scientific results and discuss the upcoming challenges in the field of scientific computing.

The IWR Colloquium will be held as an in-person event at the Mathematikon. In addition it will be streamed via Zoom. For more information please visit the website of the colloquium.

Everyone's talking about digitalization. But before you can talk about innovation, you have to adopt these technologies. In order to understand which technologies will have a real impact on a company's product portfolio, technologies must be analyzed and understood. Only then can they be scaled into business processes. At Merck, the interface between business and technology is critical. A few examples illustrate how innovation can be achieved through digital technologies such as AI and computational science.

Dr. Philipp Harbach is a dedicated digital innovator, currently serving as the Global Head of Group Digital Innovation at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. Alongside his diverse team of professionals, he focuses on driving digital innovation using modern data science and computational modeling methods. Prior to his current role, Dr. Harbach served as the Head of Digital Chemistry, where he explored the development of cutting-edge digital technologies and products for chemistry-related use cases.
He first joined Merck in 2014 as a Laboratory Head, where he established a foundation for computational chemistry within the Electronics business, specifically in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
Dr. Harbach earned his PhD in theoretical chemistry from the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR) at Heidelberg University in 2013. His research focused on developing and applying advanced theoretical methods for
molecular systems in photochemistry, which resulted in several international publications and citations.
