Responsibilities

Ann-Kristin Winkens has been a research associate at the GDI since 2018. Her research interests are in particular in the areas of resilience, sustainability, engineering education and competence training in the engineering sciences. As part of her dissertation, she is investigating the extent to which resilience-related competencies, such as dealing with crises, adaptability, or systems thinking, are considered key competencies in engineering.

She is a representative for the improvement in quality of teaching and thus takes care of the continuous design of digital and competence-oriented academics.
