Prof. Dr.
Sebastian Peitz
Principal Investigator
Embodied AI
Sebastian Peitz studied mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University from 2007 to 2013 before completing his doctorate in mathematics at Paderborn University in 2017. From 2021 to 2024, he was head of the Data Science for Engineering group as an assistant professor at the Institute of Computer Science at Paderborn University. Since 2024, he has been Professor of Safe Autonomous Systems at the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dortmund University.
Sebastian’s research is highly interdisciplinary and lies at the interface of engineering, mathematics and computer science. He is particularly interested in data-driven modeling, optimization and control of complex technical systems, with applications especially in the fields of energy technology and fluid mechanics.
Sebastian has published over 50 scientific papers in journals and at conferences in various technical disciplines. Since 2022, he has headed the BMBF-funded AI junior research group Multicriteria Machine Learning. Furthermore, in 2024 he received an ERC Starting Grant on the topic of secure and data-efficient reinforcement learning for complex systems.
