Weber's publication record demonstrates consistent scholarly output since 2009, with recent work focusing on scheduling model standardization, circular economy processes in Industry 4.0 contexts, and haptic modeling approaches for digital transformation in bioeconomics. His research shows strong interdisciplinary connections between business informatics, systems engineering, and sustainable development.
