Professorship for “Laser Technology in Manufacturing” established

New deputy director for Stuttgart University’s laser institute IFSW

15.08.2022 - Since August 2022 Andreas Michalowski is professor at the IFSW at the University of Stuttgart, focusing on laser technology in manufacturing. This professorship was newly established within the framework of the InnovationCampus Future Mobility.

On 1 August 2022 Prof Dr-Ing Andreas Michalowski was appointed to the chair of “Laser Technology in Manufacturing”. Together with Prof Thomas Graf, he now heads the Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW).

Andreas Michalowski studied physics at the Technical University of Dortmund, graduating with a diploma degree. He then worked as a research assistant at the IFSW, focusing on materials processing with ultrashort laser pulses, which was also the thematic focus of his doctorate.

In 2011 he started at Bosch Research as a scientist and was responsible for process fundamentals and simulation for machining with ultrashort pulses. Since 2018 he was senior expert responsible for virtual process development and later additionally for hybrid modeling (physics and machine learning) for laser material processing.
