Beyond academia, Dr. Körner is actively involved in various publicly funded research projects and industry collaborations within his fields of expertise. He integrates insights from these projects directly into his teaching and research. Through practice-oriented transfer studies, he collaborates closely with industry partners to translate cutting-edge research findings into applicable solutions.

Dr. Körner has been affiliated with the University of Bayreuth and the Branch Business and Information Systems Engineering of the Fraunhofer FIT since 2015, initially as a research associate and project manager, and since 2021, as a research group leader.
