Before joining Jacobs University in February 2008, Katja Windt was departmental manager of Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik, BIBA, (Bremen Institute for Production und Logistics) at Bremen University; she will continue the close co-operational ties with the university as head of one of sub-projects of the university’s collaborative research center on »Autonomous Logistics« financed by the German Research Foundation. Katja Windt received her doctorate from the Institut für Fabrikanlagen und Logistik, IFA, (Institute of Production Systems and Logistics) in 2000. Before, she had studied mechanical engineering at the University of Hannover and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. In July 2008 she received the Alfried Krupp Prize for Young University Teachers, which is endowed with a research grant of one million Euros for the next five years and therefore is one of the most highly remunerated awards for young scientists in the field of the natural sciences and engineering in Germany.
