Supervisors
The interdisciplinary group of primary supervisors in the RTG AirMetro consists of a total of 10 individuals, whose allocation to the thematic areas within the RTG is illustrated in the following diagram:
-
Fricke (Spokesperson): Focuses on safe flight operations, expertise in planning process optimization under uncertainties. Works on networks, urban planning, and has leadership competence.
-
Gerike: Specializes in mobility behavior, digital surveys, and traffic planning. Integrates approaches in Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) using MATSim.
-
Eltner: Researches intelligent geosensor networks for environmental monitoring. Analyzes 2D to 4D data using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Applies data assimilation for environmental process descriptions.
-
Maas: Expert in extracting reliable 3D information from image data. Develops image analysis methods for automating measurement tasks and statistical optimization.
-
Fitzek: Focuses on robotics and wireless communication in cyber-physical systems with real-time requirements. Accesses various testbeds with mobile robots.
-
Keßler: Specializes in conventional rotary-wing aircraft design and electrically powered drone flight behavior. Utilizes the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Versatile Aeromechanic Simulation Tool, VAST.
-
Kaliske: Expertise in numerical structural mechanics and modeling of solid structures. Develops digital representations for smart grid approaches under uncertainties.
-
Mauder: Develops measurement and modelling methods to support climate-adaptation and mitigation strategies on scales from cities to regions.
-
Hirte: Evaluates external effects using economic theory and simulation of numerical economic models.
-
Assmann: Works on self-adaptive software systems and software architectures for cyber-physical systems and collaborative robots (Cobots). Emphasizes Human-in-the-Loop interactions.
