Professors in the Faculty of Applied Computer Sciences and Biosciences

Our professors shape teaching, research and knowledge transfer across a broad range of disciplines. Together with their teams, they adopt a practice-oriented and interdisciplinary approach – working in collaboration with partners from academia, industry and society, as well as with other faculties and departments at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. The faculty’s four departments – Biotechnology and Chemistry, Forensics, Computer Science and Mathematics – represent different academic perspectives that complement one another within a shared profile.
