Over the next three years, she will receive an internal doctoral scholarship to enable her to focus intensively on the further development of scenario engineering through the use of artificial intelligence. Specifically, her research topic is: “AI-augmented scenario engineering: knowledge graph-based system analysis and LLM-based semantic consistency evaluation, taking into account worldviews and application domains”. The graduate of our Master’s programme in Business Informatics had already addressed an architectural design for an open-source toolbox called “MorphOS” for morphological scenario analysis in her final thesis. Before Rezvan Kakavand joined our university, she had successfully completed a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering at the Industrial Management Institute (IMI) in Tehran, the capital of Iran.
At our UAS, Rezvan Kakavand is supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Volker Grienitz, who teaches in the Wismar Business School Information Technology/Digitalisation and Society. The supervising partner in the joint doctoral programme is Prof. Dr. Martin G. Möhrle, Head of the Institute for Project Management and Innovation (IPMI) at the University of Bremen.
The Rectorate of Wismar University of Applied Sciences awards one doctoral scholarship per semester, for which students from all disciplines are eligible to apply. In addition, an annual scholarship is awarded by the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Graduate Funding Programme for the individual disciplines of Architecture, Interior Design, Architectural Lighting Design and Maritime Studies/Nautical Science. The Vice-Rectorate for Research supports doctoral activities at Wismar University of Applied Sciences through, amongst other things, exchange meetings, workshops to strengthen key competencies, and grants for publication and travel expenses.
