Oliver Sawodny (born 1966 in Stuttgart) is a German electrical engineer and university professor. He is the director of the Institute for System Dynamics at the University of Stuttgart since 2005.

Leben

Professor Oliver Sawodny received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Karlsruhe in 1991 and his Ph.D. in the field of process measuring and control technology from the University of Ulm in 1996. After accepting a call to the chair of control engineering, he was appointed as director of the Institute for Automation and Systems Engineering at the University of Ilmenau in 2003. Between 2009 and 2013 he was Dean at the faculty of Engineering Design, Production Engineering and Automotive Engineering at the University of Stuttgart. He is member of the managing-committee of the Fraunhofer Application Center for system technology and spokesperson of the SFB 1244 (collaborative research center DFG).

At the Institute for System Dynamics at the University of Stuttgart, he is currently leading a growing group of approximately fifty individuals. Professor Sawodny collaborates on research projects with a variety of companies, including Audi, Bosch, Daimler, Zeiss, and others. Additionally, he serves as the spokesman of research initiatives like the CRC1244 of the German Science Foundation (DFG).
