Profile:
Prof. Dr Sebastian Meißner has been Professor of Production Management and Logistics at Landshut University of Applied Sciences since 2015. He has headed the research focus "Production and Logistics Systems" (PULS) since 2019 and the PULS Technology Centre (TZ PULS) research institute in Dingolfing since 2025. He teaches at the Faculty of Electrical and Industrial Engineering and, together with his research assistants, conducts research in various research projects on topics such as the "Internet of Things and Services", "Methods of Artificial Intelligence" "Digital twins" and "Data-based assistance systems". Prof. Meißner is a member of the Digitech doctoral centre and currently supervises eight doctoral students. Since the PULS Technology Centre was founded in 2015, he has been a member of the institute's advisory board and the expert advisory board and also heads the Master's degree course "Management of Production and Supply Chain" in Dingolfing. In addition, he has been advising companies on digitalisation and automation, supply chain management, logistics and factory planning since 2007 and has been a partner of the affiliated institute Technologiezentrum Dingolfing Schulungs- und Beratungsgesellschaft mbH since 2016.
Prof. Meißner studied general mechanical engineering and industrial engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and at MIT, USA, and received his doctorate in logistics and factory control from the Chair of Materials Handling Material Flow Logistics (fml) at TUM in 2009. After completing his doctorate, he held various management positions in logistics at the MAN Group, including Head of Logistics Planning at MAN Diesel & Turbo and MAN Truck & Bus.
