Johannes Markmiller

Johannes Markmiller holds the Chair of Aircraft Engineering at Dresden University of Technology since April 2020. Born in Landshut in 1977, he combines a lifelong fascination with aviation with a commitment to advancing sustainable and innovative aircraft technologies.

• Research Focus: Aircraft engineering, aviation sustainability, eco-efficiency, safety systems, and cross-disciplinary applications in vehicles, ships, and bridges.
• Teaching Philosophy: Emphasizes theoretical foundations and personal development, advocating for international experience (e.g., his time in California).
• Industry Perspective: Foresees challenges in aviation, including rising demand, cost pressure, and the need for disruptive technologies to address sustainability.
• Career Reflection: Believes engineering education should integrate business administration, acquired later during his tenure as a management consultant at McKinsey.
