Change on the ForWind Executive Board: Andreas Fischer succeeds Michael Freitag
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Fischer is a new member of the ForWind Executive Board. The head of the Bremen Institute for Metrology, Automation and Quality Science (BIMAQ) at the University of Bremen takes over the seat of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Freitag (Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik – BIBA).
With Andreas Fischer, production engineering continues to be represented on the ForWind Executive Board. He also brings the perspective of the University of Bremen and the experience of an institute with strong wind energy research to the committee. At BIMAQ, methods and applications in measurement technology, automation, and quality science form the core of research and teaching. A key focus is on model-based, dynamic measurement systems used to investigate and optimize manufacturing and flow processes. To this end, the institute develops optical and thermographic measurement techniques at the limits of measurability. These are utilized in production, energy, and medical engineering—not least in wind energy. In addition, BIMAQ conducts research into the automation and quality control of manufacturing processes.
Michael Freitag had been a member of the ForWind Executive Board since March 2023. The Executive Board and the administrative office warmly thank him for his commitment and the support provided by his Department of Planning and Control of Production and Logistics Systems (PSPS) as well as by BIBA. At the same time, they look forward to collaborating with Andreas Fischer in the joint management of the center.
