Alexander Reiterer

Prof. Dr. Alexander Reiterer is a full Professor at the Chair for Monitoring of Large-Scale Structures at the Institute for Sustainable Systems Engineering (INATECH), University of Freiburg, Germany. He also serves as Head of the Division 'Object and Shape Detection' at the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPM. His research focuses on multi-sensor systems, precision monitoring of artificial and natural large-scale structures, and leveraging machine learning for data interpretation to enable sustainable infrastructure operation.

• Education: Doctorate in Applied Geodesy (Vienna University of Technology, 2004)

Research Highlights: Develops holistic calibration approaches for sensor systems, integrates data fusion techniques, and pioneers autonomous robotic monitoring systems (e.g., project Amy). His work spans infrastructure domains like roads, railways, and ecosystems, funded by the DFG and German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport. Applied innovations include explainable machine learning for civil engineering simulations (MoCES) and environmental studies (SPENSER, STREEM).
