Kerstin Thurow is the Director of the Center for Life Science Automation at the University Rostock, Germany. She obtained her Ph.D. in organometallic chemistry from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and the habilitation in measurement and control in 1999 from the University of Rostock. In 1999 she was appointed a professorship for Life Science Automation. Since that time her scientific work is dedicated to the automation of life science processes. Professor Thurow has authored more than 240 scientific publications. She is also a founding member of the academy of sciences Hamburg and member of the technical academy Germany (acatech).Steffen Junginger is currently working as a senior scientist at the Institute of Automation, University of Rostock. For many years he is the head of the research group "Integrated Systems". Dr. Junginger obtained his Ph.D. in life science automation from the University Rostock in 2011. He has many years of experience in laboratory automation. His main research interests include smart system integration, next generation robotics and autonomous mobile robotics. Dr. Junginger published more than 40 scientific publications (h-index 8 in Scopus).
