Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kilian Gericke - Lehrstuhl für Produktentwicklung

Research

The research of Kilian Gericke is in the area of product development with a focus on design methodology and design process management, i.e. design process process planning, design process improvement, and methodological support of designers (design methods, guidelines, design principles) during the early stages of product development.

He is particularly interested in the effects of new concepts such as Product Service Systems (PSS), Cyber Physical Systems, and of new manufacturing technologies such as Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) on the design process and in the development of new design methods that support designers in this context.
