Academic Career and Research Areas

Stephan Krusche (*1986) inspires students in computer science. He conducts research at the intersection of educational technologies, software engineering, human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence. Stephan developed the open-source learning and research platform Artemis, which is used in many courses at TUM and several other European universities to improve teaching and learning. With the help of automation and artificial intelligence, it reduces the workload for instructors and creates space for personal interaction. The chatbot Iris e.g. can provide didactically useful assistance when students ask questions or have problems with programming exercises.

Stephan developed the Rugby process model in his dissertation, which improves the quality of software development and teaching. In his habilitation, he established the teaching methodology Interactive Learning, which is used at several European universities. He is involved in the EdTech Center, is a member of the board of trustees of the Friends of TUM and is on the board of directors of the European Society for Engineering Education SEFI. He organizes international summer schools, interactive lectures with up to 2,000 students and project courses with industry partners.
