RISE Computer Science Open House 2025

From the deep sea to outer space, the research at RISE's Department of Computer Science is at the forefront, spanning a wide range of topics. The goal is to develop AI and the digital infrastructure for society today and in the future.

Who should attend?

For those working with new technology and technological development, this event is the perfect opportunity to gain new ideas and be inspired by the latest technology.

What to expect:

• Network and exchange ideas with experts in AI, cybersecurity, data centers, 5G/6G, space technology, and much more.
• Our keynotes take you on a journey from embodied AI via data center challenges to outer space.
• Explore over 90 research projects in our poster and demo session, a long-standing tradition at RISE's Department of Computer Science.
• Be inspired by our AI presentations.Take the opportunity to meet and listen to some of our AI researchers, who will provide examples of how we apply state-of-the-art AI.

Keynotes:

To the Stars: AI in Space – Fireside Chat with Marcus Wandt 

Join us on a journey into the future and out into space during an inspiring fire side chat with Marcus Wandt, astronaut and Chief Innovation Officer at SAAB, and Tobias Edman, unit manager at RISE. They will discuss the possibilities when space technology and AI meet and how the rapid technological development in both areas can create entirely new opportunities that may be difficult to imagine.

Intelligence is Corporeal

Kristina Höök, researcher KTH. Intelligence is corporeal – our choices are grounded in what is good for us (food! sex!) and what repels us (harm! death!). Today’s AI exists mainly in the language realms, but what happens when AI starts interacting with our bodies? How can we design with and for our intelligent bodies? I will discuss meaning-making, aesthetics, ethics with embodied AI. 

The Evolving Data Center

Jon Summers, lead researcher in data centers at RISE, will talk about the data centers of the future and their crucial role in the digital infrastructure. The lecture explores how data centers handle increasing energy demands, cooling challenges, and sustainability requirements through innovative energy solutions and advanced cooling technology. The focus is on improving efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and adapting the infrastructure for the digital ecosystem of the future.

Poster and demo session

With over 70 research posters on display, this is a great opportunity to gain a comprehensive overview  of Computer Science at RISE activities and connect with researchers in your areas  of interest. 

Some of our researchers will also show-case live demonstrations of their work. Keep an Eye out for drones in action and AI-powered lawnmovers in motion!

Exclusive Applied AI Presentations

Take the opportunity to meet and listen to some of our leading AI researchers as they showcase examples of how we apply state-of-the-art AI. At the heart of the RISE Computer Science office, we will gather groups of up to 20 people for 15-20 minute presentations on cutting-edge research, followed by 5-10 minutes for questions and discussions. 

Here's a sneak peek of the topics:

• Ethics-by-Design: A Robot Story by Laurynas Adomaitis
• Edge AI in Action: Empowering Smart Devices & Connected Physical Products by Joakim Eriksson
• LeakPro Testing: Privacy and Information Leakage Assessment and Reporting for AI Systems by Rickard Brännvall

Stay tuned!
