Projects

  • 2022.01 - 2025.09
    AutoPING
    AutoPING demonstrates how modern programming education can be made more efficient and practical through automated assessment systems such as CodeOcean. The project promotes digital, competence-oriented learning, AI integration, and modular critical testing scenarios—valuable impetus for the further development of teaching at TU Ilmenau and beyond.
    • Containerized automated assessment system
    • AI integration
    • Digital learning
    • Integration via the LMT interface
  • 2020.01 - 2021.12
    DaWiS
    The aim of the project was to transfer the method of knowledge discovery in simulation data, which had previously been considered mainly in academic case studies in the field of production and logistics, into practice. To this end, smart experiment design methods were evaluated and implemented, methods for the (cloud-based) distribution of experiments were developed, and suitable data mining and visual analytics methods were implemented. These methods were designed and implemented in an integrated platform.
    • Integrated into the commercial software SimAssist
    • Cloud-based execution of simulation experiments
    • Python interface developed for integration of Machine Learning methods
  • 2024.10 - 2025.09
    SUNRISE
    EU-funded cooperation project. Dissemination of results on the application and development of an autograder in programming education at other universities within the Europe-wide project alliance
