Dr Daniel Heißelmann is the head of the working group “Coordinate Measuring Systems” at the Department of Coordinate Metrology at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the National Metrology Institute of Germany. He studied physics in Osnabrück and Braunschweig and in 2015 received his doctoral degree at the Braunschweig University of Technology (TU Braunschweig) on the topic “Collisional properties of Saturnian ring particles”. From 2008 to 2014 he worked with the Braunschweig University of Technology and the University of Central Florida in Orlando, USA. He is a graduate of the International Max Planck Research School on Solar System Science at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research. Since 2015, he works with PTB and since 2018 he is the head of the working group “Coordinate Measuring Systems”.
He is the vice chair of the TraCIM association and the German VDI/VDE-GMA Technical Committee 4.32 Optical 3D Measuring Technology. He is a member of the German VDI/VDE-GMA Technical Committee 4.31 Coordinate Measuring Machines, as well as DIN NA 152-03-02-12 UA Coordinate Measuring Technology.
His research activities are focussed on methods to assess measurement uncertainty in coordinate metrology, ensuring traceability, advancing digitalization in through Digital-Metrological Twins – such as the Virtual Coordinate Measuring Machine VCMM – and the development of digital calibration certificates (DCC).
