Simone Arnold

Prof. Dr. Simone Arnold serves as a Professor at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, leading interdisciplinary research at the intersection of data science and sustainability. Her work involves significant collaborations through the Applied Excellence Department consortium with Bochum University of Applied Sciences, Westphalian University of Applied Sciences, and Bergische University of Wuppertal.

Her research specializes in computer-aided data analysis for sustainable industrial systems, with particular emphasis on optimizing energy flows in production environments and developing decision-support tools for renewable energy integration. Current projects address critical challenges in climate-resilient urban redevelopment and holistic sustainability assessment through advanced data modeling techniques.

Major funded initiatives include:

• Building Blocks of Computer-Aided Data Analysis (BCD): A 2-year OERContent.nrw-funded project developing open educational resources for flexible data analysis training, focusing on applications in renewable energy expansion.
• DIANEpro: A 2-year Applied Excellence Department project analyzing energy production-demand dynamics to optimize sustainability in industrial production systems through data-driven integration of energy flows.
