Sarah Schwarz studied Mechanical Engineering at DHBW Stuttgart. During her studies, she was already involved in E-Mobility topics through coursework on Li-ion batteries and a collaboration with Kienle + Spiess GmbH—a technology leader in the development and production of rotors and stators.

While pursuing her master’s degree at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, she completed an internship with Bosch PowerTools in Malaysia, where she gained experience in electric motor simulation and in approaches to implementing machine learning in power tools.

At umlaut systems GmbH, she worked on hardware-in-the-loop test benches for the software validation of an automotive manufacturer’s battery management systems.

Since June 2021, she has been a research associate in the Energy Storage Systems group at IMS. In the “KI4ETA” research project, she is investigating, among other things, how artificial-intelligence methods can support the hybrid energy storage system of the ETA factory.
