Bio
I am currently setting up a working group for disassembly system technologies at Trier University of Applied Sciences. From March 2012 to February 2020, I was department head at ZeMA – Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology in Saarbrücken. At the same time, I am a lecturer for industrial robotics and human-technology interaction and head of the international Robotix Academy. My research focuses on the automotive and aerospace industry as well as agile production. My research interests focus on the application of robotics and automation in industrial production. In this context, I lead and contribute to a broad portfolio of innovation and technology transfer projects aiming at the introduction of robotics technologies in the production sector according to Industry 4.0.
Extra projects/connections
Robotix Academy
The aim of this project is to create synergies in teaching and research on robotics through cross-border cooperation, thus establishing a permanent research cluster for industrial robotics. The research cluster will help to exploit the potential of the Greater Region in the fields of research, development and innovation, and to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of the Greater Region. A further aim is also to increase the innovative strength of the companies.
The concept of joint lectures and technology transfer largely adopts the priorities and objectives of the Greater Region: strengthening industry, counteracting the lack of skilled workers and maintaining and expanding modern jobs. This cross-border research initiative makes it possible to jointly work on more complex tasks from industrial practice that could not be solved by each project partner alone.
