With the appointment of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Anne-Marie Schreyer, the Institute for Mobility and Life in Motion strengthens its research activities in the fields of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics. Since December 1, the internationally renowned top professor has contributed her expertise to the Institute’s scientific work. The focus lies on fundamental yet highly relevant research questions in aerospace engineering that significantly influence efficiency, safety, and future technologies.

Prof. Schreyer conducts research on key topics in modern aerodynamics and fluid mechanics for aerospace applications. Her work places particular emphasis on compressible flow phenomena, active flow control, and fluid–structure interaction. These complex processes are crucial for understanding dynamic systems and open up new possibilities for innovative technological solutions.

From fundamental research to application in complex systems

Her scientific profile is shaped by an international career path. After completing her degree in aerospace engineering and earning her doctorate at the University of Stuttgart, Prof. Schreyer gained extensive research and teaching experience in several European countries as well as through research stays in the United States. This academic background is complemented by strong practical expertise: among other positions, she worked at the French space agency CNES and participated in numerous research projects with industrial partners. These include collaborations with Dantec Dynamics, Rolls-Royce Deutschland, Airbus, the institutes of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Göttingen and Braunschweig, and the European Transonic Wind Tunnel in Cologne. This close connection between research and practice enables the sustainable transfer of scientific findings into real-world applications.

Prof. Schreyer’s outstanding scientific standing is further underlined by her appointment as a top professor. Science Minister Markus Blume announced in Munich: “As one of the leading researchers in this future-oriented and growth-driven field, she opens up new horizons in aerospace engineering. This is made possible by the Top Professorships Program of the Hightech Agenda Bavaria innovation initiative.”

The top professorship provides a central framework for her scientific work and creates excellent conditions for long-term, research-intensive projects in a key area of engineering sciences.

For research at the Institute for Mobility and Life in Motion, her appointment represents a significant added value. Her methodological expertise, interdisciplinary approach, and international network open up new points of connection for existing research priorities and strengthen the Institute’s position within the scientific community.
