Short CV

Felix Rempe studied Mechatronics at DHBW Stuttgart and Computational Science and Engineering at TU Munich, focusing on high-performance computing and machine learning. He was member of the Elitenetzwerk Bayern and graduated 2014 as M.Sc. with Honours. Right after, he started his PhD program with BMW Group and Bundeswehr University Munich. During his doctoral studies, he explored the usage of vehicle sensor data for accurate traffic state estimation and prediction. His PhD thesis in 2018 was awarded with “summa cum laude”. Afterwards, he worked on several research and development projects at BMW Group involving data-driven development and autonomous driving: the design of future mobility systems with autonomous taxis, the utilization of vehicle sensor data for the enrichment of high-definition digital maps as well as data-based design & virtual validation of highly automated driving systems. During this time, he published several papers on machine learning in traffic engineering applications. He is member of „AA 3.10 Forschungsgesellschaft für Straßen- und Verkehrswesen (FGSV)“ for traffic flow theory.
