Marion Riedel

Marion Riedel is a researcher at the Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design within the Technical University of Munich, working under Chairholder Prof. Dr. Markus Zimmermann. Her role integrates research and teaching in engineering design methodologies at the Garching campus (Boltzmannstr. 15).

Research focuses on Product Development, Lightweight Structures, and Robotics, with emphasis on multidisciplinary design optimization and composite material applications. Current projects like KREATIVE (AI-driven design creativity), BUENA (sustainable engineering frameworks), and SOLID (system-level integration) demonstrate her work in advancing computational design methodologies for industrial applications.

Teaching responsibilities include laboratory instruction in Lightweight Structures and Composite Materials, where she guides students through experimental validation of structural concepts and manufacturing techniques. The laboratory maintains active collaborations with automotive and aerospace partners through its project portfolio spanning digital twins, robotic assembly systems, and topology optimization.

Contact occurs via email (marion.riedel@tum.de) or office visits to room 5506.02.637, with student opportunities regularly advertised through TUM's thesis topic portal focusing on computational design and advanced material systems.
