Felix Endress is a research associate at the Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). He investigates product development approaches for metal additive manufacturing, with a special focus on optimization and validation of aerospace structures. Previously, he conducted research in the field of Engineering Design at the University of Cambridge and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He holds master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Management.

Jasper Rieser's research is about topology optimization methods with a particular focus on the design for additive manufacturing. Currently, he is a research associate at the Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) from which he also obtained his bachelor's and master's degree in mechanical engineering.

Alexander Horoschenkoff studied mechanical engineering at TUM and received his Ph.D. from the mechanical engineering department. He started his career at the research centre of Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) in Ottobrunn. Within the research core team of the DaimlerChrysler AG, he was responsible for the mechanical technology field. Since 2001, he has been a professor at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Automotive and Aeronautics Engineering and head of the CC "Smart Composites".

Philipp Höfer is a full professor at the Institute of Lightweight Engineering within the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Universität der Bundeswehr München. After obtaining his Ph.D. in the field of material modelling and continuum mechanics, he has gained extensive experience in the development of aircraft structures at Airbus over many years. His research interests include the conceptual, functional, and structural design of lightweight structures and the investigation of their static and dynamic characteristics by analysis and test.

Tobias Dickhut is a full professor of Composite Materials and Technical Mechanics at the Institute of Aeronautical Engineering within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universität der Bundeswehr München. After obtaining his Ph.D. in the field of lightweight construction and structures with fibre-reinforced plastics, he has gained extensive experience in the development of space structures at MT Aerospace over many years. His research interests include the scientific engineering research and design with composites, in particular the issues of lightweight (hybrid) force transmission into highly stressed structural components made of composite materials and the development of tank structures for cryogenic media.

Markus Zimmermann's research is about the design and optimization of complex mechanical systems, such as automobiles or robots. Before he became a professor at TUM, he spent 12 years at BMW designing vehicles for crash and vehicle dynamics. His academic training is in mechanical engineering with degrees from the Technical University of Berlin (Diplom), the University of Michigan (M.S.E.) and MIT (Ph.D.).
