Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Landfester teaches and researches at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences in the fields of hybrid design, machine elements and acoustics with a focus on CAE. Prior to his appointment in 2014, he worked for 12 years in the development departments of well-known companies in the consumer goods and agricultural machinery industries in the field of product validation using numerical and experimental methods.

Dr.-Ing. Roland Angert studied general mechanical engineering at the TU Darmstadt. He completed his doctorate on the subject of 'Acoustic behavior of machine structures'. After working for an automobile manufacturer in the field of engine and transmission acoustics, he moved to a hydraulics and industrial truck manufacturer in hydraulics testing. He then worked for a printing machine manufacturer in the research and development department in the mechanics and measurement technology laboratory. He has been a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Plastics Technology at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences since 2005. He teaches in the fields of machine elements and machine acoustics. He is co-author of the book ''Practical Machine Acoustics''.

After completing his doctorate in the field of fatigue strength (LBF), Prof. Bubenhagen worked for 16 years in the chassis development department of a large automotive group. In addition to the design of chassis components, he was also responsible for the design and validation of highly stressed bolted joints. He has been a member of the VDI working group 2230 "Systematic calculation of highly stressed bolted joints" since 1998. In 2009, Hugo Bubenhagen was appointed professor at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. His areas of teaching, work and research include machine elements, in particular joining technology, design engineering and product development as well as chassis and vehicle technology. He has access to modern laboratories and testing facilities at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences.

After working in the automotive industry with a focus on plastic injection molding - toolmaking and product development, Mary Göhler has been part of the team at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Plastics Technology at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences since 2014. The design of injection moulds, including multi-component moulds, was just as much a part of her work in industry as the production-oriented optimization of plastic components. During her freelance work, she was able to gain extensive experience in product development. Her teaching areas include the efficient use of modern CAx tools, primarily CAD.
