Bio Sketch

Professor Dr. Mathias Weske is a Fellow of the German Computer Science Society and chair of the business process technology research group at Hasso Plattner Institute at the Digital Engineering Faculty, University of Potsdam, Germany. We aim at addressing real-world problems in business process management with formal approaches and engineering useful prototypes. The BPT research group has a track record in engineering prototypes with a significant impact on research and practice, including projects like Oryx, jBPT and more recently openBPT. Dr. Weske co-founded Signavio and was business angel at Synfioo. He authored the first textbook on business process management in 2007, currently in its 4th edition, and he held the first massive open online course on the topic in 2013. With Matthias Kunze, he published a textbook on behavioural models. Dr. Weske is a founding member of the steering committee of the BPM conference series and was its chair from September 2017 through September 2022. Since 2024, Dr. Weske is an Adjunct Faculty member in the Windreich Department of AI and Human Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
