Gregor Nitsche is since 2022 working at the DLR (Institute of Systems Engineering for Future Mobility) as a scientific staff.

The Oldenburg-based DLR Institute Systems Engineering for Future Mobility researches methods for developing and safeguarding automated and autonomous transportation systems of the future. The focus is on the development of new, efficient systems engineering methods and tools for proving functionality (verification) and practical suitability (validation) as well as the further development of trustworthy systems. Increasing system complexity, new solution approaches such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and a shift in tasks between humans and technology require new methods of validation and authorisation. This is a major challenge for the introduction of future generations of transport systems. In its four departments "Systems Theory and Design", "System Evolution and Operation", "Application and Evaluation" and, last but not least, "Safe Automation Maritime Systems", the institute deals with key issues relating to the technical trustworthiness of integrated control systems through to complete transport systems in the automotive, shipping and rail sectors.
