Dr. Simon Stier
Head of Digital Transformation at Fraunhofer ISC & Fullstack Software Freelancer π WΓΌrzburg, Germany
π¨βπ¬ About Me
I'm bridging the gap between materials science and digital transformation, specializing in materials informatics, semantic data integration, and AI-driven materials discovery. With dual expertise in Computer Science and Functional Materials, I lead research initiatives that accelerate materials R&D through innovative digital workflows and FAIR data principles.
π― Research Focus
- Materials Acceleration Platforms (MAPs) for accelerated discovery and deployment
- Semantic technologies and knowledge graphs for scientific data integration
- AI-powered workflows for experimental and computational materials science
- Digital transformation of laboratory processes and manufacturing
- Materials research digitalization and lifecycle assessment integration
π Key Achievements
- Principal Investigator in multi-million Euro research projects (β¬50M+ total funding since 2019, β¬3.5M+ personal share)
- 15+ peer-reviewed publications (Advanced Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, etc.)
- 3 patents in sensor systems and flexible electronics
- 50+ contributioins, invited talks and workshops at international conferences and symposiums
π οΈ Open Source Projects
π§ͺ OpenSemanticLab (OSL)
Semantic lab platform combining ELN/LIMS functionality with knowledge graphs
- Full-stack solution for FAIR scientific data management
- Triple store integration with automated workflow execution
- Adoption in 15+ research projects and industry cooperations
π Object-Oriented Linked Data (OO-LD)
Schema framework bridging object-oriented programming with semantic web technologies
- JSON-LD + JSON-Schema based approach for scientific data modeling
- Python package for seamless RDF integration in scientific workflows
- Enables bidirectional mapping between code objects and knowledge graphs
βοΈ Abstract Workflow Language (AWL)
Executable workflow descriptions with built-in provenance and FAIR principles
- Language-agnostic workflow specification with semantic annotations
- Bidirectional RDF mapping for workflow provenance and reproducibility
- Integration with computational materials science platforms
π§ General Process Ontology
Standardized vocabulary for describing scientific and manufacturing processes
- OWL-based ontology for cross-domain process modeling
- Foundation for interoperable materials science data spaces
