Material analytics meets artificial intelligence – the revolution in plastics engineering
"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." – Stephen Hawking
I have been working in central analytics at Robert Bosch GmbH since 2016 and I am a member of the “Data Analysis and Machine Learning” team. My work focuses on developing adapted models based on machine learning for clarifying and evaluating complex correlations / cause-effect relationships and aging mechanisms of plastics and adhesives in order to improve product reliability. Together with my colleagues, I make essential contributions toward new technological developments and quality assurance of Bosch products.

Interview
Dr. Elisabeth Lotter
Research engineer for chemometric-based data analysis
Please tell us what fascinates you most about research.
I regard research as continuously acquiring new knowledge, discovering new thematic fields, and being involved in creatively designing them. I am attracted by the prospect of understanding complex processes and overcoming scientific challenges, developing solutions and using them to further drive promising innovations.
Dr. Elisabeth Lotter
Research engineer for chemometric-based data analysis
What makes research done at Bosch so special?
I am fascinated and inspired every day by working in interdisciplinary teams at the forefront of industrial research. My tasks as a data analyst also enables me to enjoy close collaboration with colleagues in the production and development environment of the divisions, thereby providing an insight to the technical processes for which Bosch stands, as well as the ability to further expand my own perspectives, both personally and professionally.
Dr. Elisabeth Lotter
Research engineer for chemometric-based data analysis
What research topics are you currently working on at Bosch?
As the focal point of my work, “data analysis and chemometrics” addresses new approaches in the evaluation of chemical/physical data sets in the area of plastics processing. By means of chemometrics as a method of machine learning, masked information or patterns of a data set become detectable which would not have been accessible using classic knowledge-based processes. This will enable us to accelerate the analysis of plastic components in the future in order to reduce development times while obtaining a more in-depth understanding of materials. This enables the development and design of robust and durable products.
Dr. Elisabeth Lotter
Research engineer for chemometric-based data analysis
What are the biggest scientific challenges in your field of research?
The challenge lies in developing generalizable and scalable concepts for automatic evaluation, interpretion, and prediction of material parameters and properties. This requires the transfer of AI concepts from the areas of image and text analysis to the material development of polymer materials.
