Doctorate Benjamin Gerschütz
The Chair of Design Engineering would like to congratulate Mr Benjamin Gerschütz on successfully completing his doctorate in engineering on 21 March 2025. In his dissertation entitled ‘Identification of use cases and integration of data-driven methods in the product development process’, Mr Gerschütz addressed the question of how small and medium-sized companies in particular can recognize the potential of data-driven AI methods and integrate them into their development processes in a targeted manner. To this end, he developed a systematic procedure for identifying suitable use cases and implementing AI-based solutions in the context of product development. After passing the internal doctoral examination, Mr Gerschütz was ceremoniously presented with his doctoral degree by Prof. Dr Sandro Wartzack. We would like to thank Mr Gerschütz for the excellent collaboration during his doctoral studies and wish him all the best and every success for his future career!
