• Steinbeis Lunchbreak | Grab a bite with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Griesinger (German Version) (2025)
  Thermal management is a key technology for digitalisation, electric mobility and AI applications. Professor Dr.-Ing. Andreas Griesinger demonstrates how thermal simulation, innovative materials and intelligent cooling concepts can be used to optimise the performance, safety and sustainability of electronic systems – from batteries to data centres.
