Career

Sabine Wittmann studied in the Bachelor's program Horticulture at HSWT and completed her Master's program Horticultural Management at TUM 2020 with distinction. Her scientific focus is on plant sciences, especially with a focus on Vertical Indoor Farming, resource efficiency and plant physiology. As part of her studies, she participated in a Plant Factory Tour to Taiwan and Japan. Both her bachelor's and her master's studies were supported by the scholarship of the Stiftung Begabtenförderung Berufliche Bildung. Sabine Wittmann joined the Applied Science Centre for Smart Indoor Farming research group at HSWT in 2018 and is involved in various research projects. Since April 2022, she has been working on her PhD as an external doctoral student at the TU Munich.

Research areas

As part of her doctorate, Sabine Wittmann is working on the optimization of plant raw material production in indoor farming systems. The focus is on the production of raw materials from higher value plants. Based on the productivity and resource consumption in closed multi-layer systems, questions regarding the increase of efficiency will be analyzed. Furthermore, Sabine Wittmann supports the project supervision in the field of NIR food scanners.
