Dr.-Ing. E. W. Udo Küppers studied engineering in Düsseldorf and at the TU Berlin, where he received his doctorate in 1983. After scientific activities in research institutions and participation in international R&D projects, he has been leading the independent working group Küppers-Systemdenken since 2001. Since 2013 as a lecturer - from 2016 as a director of studies - at AKAD University in Stuttgart, he has been in charge of various teaching modules. Central is the module Interdisciplinary Competence with currently nine technical economic topics, including Systemic Bionics, Cyberphysical Systems and Robotics, Neural Networks, Risk Strategies, Beyond Economics, New Work and Anthropocene. He is interested in the border area between nature and technology, in particular in a fault-tolerant, highly attentive approach to complex organisational processes, as well as in systemic thinking and action, accompanied by impact network methods for efficient, sustainable practical solutions.
