CDS members associated with the project: Prof. Dr. Stefanie Walch-Gassner, Prof. Dr. Stefan Wesner, PD Dr. Stefan Zellmann
The B3D Cluster is an interdisciplinary collaboration between universities and research institutions in NRW that aims to create a prosperous network of experts in astrophysics and data science. Using currently powerful analysis and visualization techniques, sustainable technology and infrastructure, solutions for the upcoming challenges of the next generation of astronomical observatories will be developed in close collaboration with other leading academic and industrial partners. One of the goals of the B3D cluster is to generate synergies between different areas of research and to provide a joint research-oriented training program in future technologies that can be applied to astronomical research and beyond.
