Oliver Stoll

Oliver Stoll is an Associate Lecturer at the Institute of Innovation and Technology Management (IIT) within the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture (HSLU). He specializes in digital servitization and product-service systems, focusing on Action Research methodologies. His current PhD research at Glasgow Caledonian University explores digitally enabled industrial product-service systems as part of the SmartTwin project, which prototypes Digital Twins in industrial environments to improve lifecycle decision-making.

Education:

• Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (2012–2016)
• Master of Science in Business Engineering (Product and Service Innovation) at same institution (2017–2019)
• Current PhD candidate at Glasgow Caledonian University (2019–present)

Research focuses on digital transformation in manufacturing, particularly around Data2Action frameworks, lifecycle management of product-service systems, and digital twin applications. Key areas include servitization business models, IoT-driven service innovation, and decision-support systems for industrial ecosystems. His work bridges technical, business, and customer-centric perspectives to drive data-driven service solutions.

Notable contributions include developing the Source-Target-Link-Matrix for product-service system design and exploring lifecycle-oriented risk assessment using Monte Carlo simulations. He has collaborated on projects like DISCO, ReInvent, and Clart-E, addressing sustainable innovation and energy ecosystems.
