Esther Gelle

Prof. Dr. Esther Gelle is a Lecturer in Digital System Design at the FHNW Institute of Business Engineering, part of the FHNW School of Engineering and Environment at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland. Her work focuses on AI applications in industry, machine learning, natural language processing (LLMs), constraint satisfaction problems, and digital business process modeling. She has contributed to advancements in industrial automation systems, IT asset management, and configuration frameworks.

Her research spans over two decades, with notable contributions in constraint satisfaction problem solving, industrial standard adaptation (e.g., IEC 61346), and autonomous IT management. She collaborates with industry partners to bridge theoretical concepts with practical applications. Her publications emphasize optimization techniques, system modeling, and automated configuration in engineering contexts.

Her articles consistently explore themes like constraint-based problem solving, industrial process control, and the integration of AI into technical systems. While no awards are explicitly listed, her extensive publication record reflects sustained academic and industrial impact. She currently holds no listed students or grants but actively engages in research teams focused on automation and digital transformation.

Her affiliation with the Institute of Business Engineering positions her at the intersection of technical systems and business processes, emphasizing practical solutions for modern industrial challenges. She is based at the FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch, contributing to both educational and applied research initiatives.
