Currently I am employed at Fraunhofer ISI Competence Center Foresight as Deputy Team leader & Coordinator Business Unit Foresight for Policy and Administration.After finishing my studies of mechanical engineering (Dipl. Ing.) I completed my PhD in 2002 within the interdisciplinary DFG postgraduate program "technology and society" at the University of Darmstadt in an STS (social science technology studies) framework.Since then, my research is focussing on Foresight processes/futures dialogues, socio-technical change and innovation studies. As project and team leader at Fraunhofer ISI, the "Institute for Prospective Studies" of the European Commission (JRC-IPTS) in Sevilla, Spain, and the Austrian Institute of Technology AIT in Vienna, Austria, I designed and implemented a number of Foresight processes in support to decision makers in policy, society and industry in Europe and beyond.From June 2019 to May 2020, I was employed at the Federal Chancellery in Berlin, Germany in the department "Strategic Foresight and Policy Planning" to support the establishment of a Foresight unit within this department.Please find a list of my academic publications under my ORCID profile:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8346-4104
