Using new methods to predict economic development

When will inflation fall and when will economic growth accelerate? Luis Gruber, an early career researcher in Gregor Kastner’s research team at the Department of Statistics, is developing new statistical methods to help predict socially relevant topics such as economic development. It is important to note that statistics are not a crystal ball. We will not be able to predict the future with complete accuracy, which makes it all the more important to use new methods in order to demonstrate the degree of uncertainty associated with predictions.

Outdoor Drone Space Austria (ODSA) at the University of Klagenfurt nears completion

After a period of five months, the University of Klagenfurt’s Outdoor Drone Space Austria (ODSA) at the Lakeside Science & Technology Park is close to completion. Alongside the drone hall, this will provide the drone researchers at Dronehub Klagenfurt with outdoor research infrastructure for developing and testing innovative drone technologies.

More trees, less CO2: swarms of drones to reforest woodlands

How can we control swarms of drones so that they can be used to reforest woodlands in the most efficient way? Merna Tohfa, a university assistant at the Department of Networked and Embedded Systems, is developing mathematical models and technologies that enable swarms of drones to scatter tree seeds in areas that may be difficult to access.
