Research summary

AI-generated

Stephan Biller works on manufacturing systems and supply chains, with a focus on digital twins (computer models that mirror and track real-world factories or systems), simulation, and using sensor data and AI to improve production and logistics. His recent work also touches on newer areas like in-space manufacturing, additive manufacturing (3D printing) policy, and trust in digital manufacturing marketplaces.
