Besides my role as a professor for digitalization & information management at the University of Applied Sciences Kempten, I am  am working for the Research Center Finance & Information Management (FIM), the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT), and the Institute for Sustainable and Innovative Tourism (INIT).

My team have been granted several applied research projects with a volume of over 3 million Euros for my organizations. Besides publicly funded research projects, my team and I support companies in meeting the challenges of digitalization and sustainability. In particular, we use data-based analyses to evaluate new, sustainable business models.

Exemplary projects are:

• ODH@SIZ (2019-2022, funded by IuK Bayern of the Bavarian Ministry for Economic Affairs)
  • Development of intelligent algorithms for the prognosis of charging traffic at large scale charging stations
  • Development of price models and design of incentives for the flexibilization of loading processes
• FEB-NAFV (2021-2024, funded by mFUND of the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport)
  • Analysis and prognosis of near-real-time visitor data for visitor management
  • Development of a bus-based mobility service to reduce individual motorized mobility at highly crowded points of interest
• Electric Mobility in rural regions (2022, comissioned by the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union)
  • Identification of risks and opportunities for the ramp-up of electric cars in rural areas
  • Examination of charging scenarios against the background of possible CO2 savings
