Andrej Dudenhefner and Georg von der Brüggen are returning to the Department of Computer Science at TU Dortmund University to take on new roles.

The Department of Computer Science welcomes two scholars to new positions: Dr. Andrej Dudenhefner will serve as acting professor of software engineering, and Dr. Georg von der Brüggen will lead the Technical Computer Science teaching and research focus. Both have close ties to the department through their previous academic careers and are now contributing their expertise to new areas of responsibility in teaching and research.

Dr. Andrej Dudenhefner: From Undergraduate Studies and a Ph.D. to an Acting Professorship

Dr. Andrej Dudenhefner is a postdoc at the Chair of Software Engineering under Prof. Dr. Jakob Rehof. His academic career is closely tied to the department of Computer Science: he earned his Ph.D. from TU Dortmund University in 2019 and completed his habilitation there in 2026. By taking on the temporary professorship, he is continuing his research in software engineering while also assuming responsibility for teaching and supervising theses.

Dr. Georg von der Brüggen: Back in Dortmund After Research Positions

Dr. Georg von der Brüggen has also returned to the Department of Computer Science. After earning his Ph.D. from TU Dortmund University in 2019, he worked as a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Kaiserslautern. He then returned to his alma mater. As a tenured faculty member at the Chair of Embedded Systems, he is now taking over as the representative for the Technical Computer Science teaching and research focus area. His responsibilities include ensuring the availability of course offerings and supervising theses.

Both researchers are familiar with the department from different stages of their academic careers. In their new roles, they will help shape student education in two key areas of computer science and contribute to maintaining a continuous and reliable curriculum.
