On the path to "Industry 4.0" or "Smart Factory," the interface between product and process is to be further developed in such a way that, depending on the product matrix and process parameters, the equipment adapts intelligently to the circumstances. Interdisciplinary and close cooperation within the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the Research Center for Health Sciences and the University is expected. In the food science Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, the professor teaches the principles of process analytics as well as content from their own field in both German and English. The professor will also offer courses for other degree programs of the Faculty of Natural Sciences as well as for the interdisciplinary Master's program in Food Systems.
