Prof. Dr. Josef Griesbauer is a Professor of Automation and Measurement Technology at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Kempten University of Applied Sciences. He serves as Program Coordinator for the Mechatronics (Bachelor) program and heads the Measurement and Control Technology Laboratory. With extensive experience spanning both academia and industry, Prof. Griesbauer has established expertise in automation systems and measurement technology. His educational background includes a PhD in Physics from the University of Augsburg (2008-2011) with research conducted partly at Boston University. Prior to his professorship, he worked at 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH (CODESYS GmbH) on industrial development projects and held research positions at OSRAM and the University of Augsburg. Prof. Griesbauer's research interests focus on the intersection of traditional engineering principles with modern digital technologies. His work spans theoretical biophysics (particularly lipid monolayers and wave propagation) and practical industrial applications (TSN, OPC UA PubSub, digitalization in manufacturing). He has developed AI-assisted lectures and maintains extensive educational content on YouTube covering Measurement Technology, Automation Technology, and Machine Learning. His publication record shows a clear evolution from fundamental biophysics research to applied industrial automation. Early work focused on lipid monolayers and material science, while recent publications address practical implementation of Time-Sensitive Networking and digital integration in intralogistics systems. This transition reflects his unique ability to bridge theoretical physics with practical engineering solutions. Prof. Griesbauer co-founded the 'Allgäu 4 Production' platform and hosts 'The Griesbauer' podcast where he interviews experts on technology, science, automation, digitalization, AI, philosophy, and society. The podcast demonstrates his commitment to making complex technical topics accessible while exploring their societal implications. He maintains the Measurement and Control Technology Laboratory at Kempten University, which serves as a hub for practical education and applied research in automation technologies, supporting both student projects and industry collaborations.
