Dirk Lange

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dirk Lange is an Honorary Professor at Leuphana University of Lüneburg since 2019 and Head of Development at Marposs Monitoring Solutions GmbH. His career spans roles as Technical Director at Artis GmbH (2010–2018), lecturer at Leuphana and Northeast Lower Saxony University of Applied Sciences, and leader in R&D at Artis GmbH (1998–2010). He focuses on process and machine condition monitoring, sensor technology, and AI-driven industrial automation.

• Education: 1985–1991 Electrical Engineering (specializing in measurement/control engineering) at TU Braunschweig; 1999 Doctorate at IWF Braunschweig/IPA Stuttgart on grinding measurement systems.
• Research: He explores process monitoring, sensor systems, 5G-enabled automation, and machine learning for manufacturing. His work addresses anisotropic material reduction, data-driven models, and embedded systems in production.
• Projects: Leads EU-funded initiatives like EVOLVE5G (5G process optimization) and TrICo (sustainable production networks). Past projects include OptimUm (AI/FEM forming) and FerNaPro (sustainable manufacturing).
• Patents: Holds 6 patents for sensor systems, thread testing, and machine tool monitoring (DE102006030834B4, EP2476511B1, EP2662739A2).
• Academic Networks: Affiliated with ICNAP (Networked Adaptive Production), MIN (Manufacturing Innovation Network), and 6G IA (Smart Networks). Co-organized workshops at RWTH Aachen and TU Dresden.

His publications since 2019 emphasize 5G in production, machine learning for anomaly detection, and sensor integration. He supervises Bachelor, Master, and PhD theses at IPTS.
