Prof. Florian Tschorsch and his team research interests revolve around the analysis and design of distributed systems, in particular network architectures and communication protocols. Here, the inherent implementation of data protection and security requirements in a networked environment represents the overarching research goal. Furthermore, the interaction with other system properties such as resilience, scalability, performance and decentralization is considered. Within this framework, topics such as anonymity or weak identities, data privacy, telemetry infrastructures, peer-to-peer networks, and blockchain technologies are explored.
In addition to this technical expertise, the team is also experienced in collaborating on a wide range of interdisciplinary projects, for example in exchanges with lawyers, economists, and data analysts.
- Threat modeling with regard to data protection, data security and network security

Mendling's research focuses on the question how business processes can be efficiently and effectively supported by information systems. To this end, Mendling and his team address questions of the information technology as well as of managerial questions.
Within the framework of business process management they developed a series of technical solutions for process mining and also management tools like the BPM Billboard.
The expertise of Mendling and his team is summarized in the seminal textbook "Fundamentals of Business Process Management", which is used by over 250 universities in 70 countries.
- cooperation with businesses from different branches
- design of training concepts for process management
- performance of training courses and projects for process improvement
- development of new analysis software for business processes
In the context of his projects, Mendling worked together with many medium-sized companies and DAX-companies from different branches.

Prof. Haerdle’s main research interests are quantitative finance, esp. multivariate methods in banking and finance, dimension reduction techniques, and computational statistics. In his roles both as coordinator of the Collaborative Research Center “Economic Risk” (CRC 649) and director of the interdisciplinary Center for Applied Statistics and Economics (C.A.S.E.) he primarily investigates economic risks on a global scale. Prof. Haerdle’s research aims at facilitating the evaluation of such risks and to reduce uncertainty to improve economic actors’ decision-making.
Prof. Haerdle is Distinguished Visiting Professor Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE) at Xiamen University, China, as well as director of the International Research Training Group “High Dimensional Non Stationary Time Series” (ITRG 1792). Among other distinctions he received the “Econometric Theory Multa Scripsit Award” in 2012.
