Achim Kienle (2017)

Achim Kienle (born March 6, 1963 in Stuttgart ) is a German engineer and professor for automation technology / modeling . He works at the interface between process engineering and control engineering and is one of the pioneers in the field of control of complex process systems.

Live and act

Achim Kienle completed his training at a grammar school and graduated from high school in 1983 . Immediately afterwards, I studied process engineering with a focus on system dynamics / control engineering at the University of Stuttgart . In 1989 Kienle finished his studies as a graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.).

He started his career between 1989 and 1998 as a research assistant at the Institute for System Dynamics and Control Engineering at the University of Stuttgart (Director: Ernst Dieter Gilles ). During this time, his was dissertation on "Nonlinear wave phenomena and stability of stationary states in distillation columns," with which he 1997 Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) Doctorate .

In 1998, Kienle moved to the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems , which was founded and headed by Ernst Dieter Gilles in Magdeburg , as head of the “Process Synthesis and Process Dynamics” group . Here he wrote his habilitation thesis on the subject of nonlinear dynamics of process engineering processes.

Traditional headquarters of control / automation technology on the Magdeburg campus

In 2002, Kienle received a call to the chair for automation technology / modeling at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg and a further call to the chair for process and plant engineering at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg . Due to his ongoing commitment to the local Max Planck Institute, he decided on the professorship in Magdeburg. Furthermore, the training course control engineering has a considerable tradition in Magdeburg and has existed here since 1960 (founders: Heinrich Wilhelmi ; Herbert Ehrlich ; Heinz Töpfer ).

After German reunification in 1990, the existing control engineering and process control research area was transferred to the "Institute for Automation Technology" (IFAT) under the active influence of Ulrich Korn and Peter Neumann and expanded to around 30 employees in 4 chairs, including Achim Kienle .

Teaching and research

The teaching of Achim Kienle at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg includes lectures, exercises and practical on the following topics:

  • Signals and systems
  • Process dynamics of nonlinear systems (process dynamics II)
  • Control engineering
  • Systems and Control (in English)
  • System identification / experimental process analysis
  • Mathematical modeling of physiological systems.

The research work of the Kienle working group at the Chair of Automation Technology / Modeling at Otto von Guericke University and at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems focuses on the analysis, synthesis and control of complex systems. This includes methods and tools for computer-aided modeling and simulation, non-linear analysis, optimal process design and process management. The main areas of application are chemical processes, energy systems and selected issues from systems biology. The latter concern the population-dynamic modeling of influenza virus replication in vaccine production as well as the production of customized biopolymers in microorganisms.
