Professor and Lead Coverage Register¶
This is the coverage artifact for the university wiki, not the action-facing front door. Start with People Index or Labs Index when you are preparing a real move. Use this page when completeness, deduplication, or long-tail recovery matters more than immediate actionability.
Goal:
- capture every named professor, lead, director, or named research contact that appears in the four university source reports
- preserve names even when they do not justify a standalone page yet
- make it impossible to lose long-tail candidates during later CRM or Apollo work
Status Legend¶
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| standalone | has its own person page |
| referenced | named in the leads layer and intentionally kept below standalone-page threshold |
| catalog-only | captured here so the source set is complete, but not yet promoted elsewhere |
| role-placeholder | the source names a role or lane but not a stable person page yet |

Specialized Research Contacts¶
These names appeared as research contacts rather than obvious chair-holders, but they still matter for source completeness.
| Name | Institution or Lane | Status | Why It Is Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anahita Pakiman | University of Wuppertal and SCAI-linked CAE knowledge-graph work | catalog-only | direct CAE knowledge-graph reference |
| Konstantinos Gkrispanis | TUM CCBE AI4CADCAM | catalog-only | named AI4CADCAM research contact |
| Dominik Schneider | University of Wuppertal CAE knowledge-graph work | catalog-only | named CAE knowledge-graph research contact |
Role Placeholders From Reports¶
These appeared in the source reports as role-level targets rather than a stable named page.
| Role or Lane | Status | Why It Is Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Fraunhofer ITWM division head to be identified | role-placeholder | monster brief explicitly points to the lane but not a named lead |
| TUM LPL chair or supervising professor for KBE thesis routing | role-placeholder | monster brief discusses the lane even when the exact supervisor is not fixed |
Why This Register Exists¶
- Every named professor, lead, director, or named research contact from the four source reports now has a stable place in the wiki.
- First-wave actionability stays in the standalone pages and opportunities.
- Long-tail names are preserved for CRM enrichment, Apollo work, and later expansion.
Open Questions¶
- Which catalog-only names should be promoted next after the first outreach round?
- Should the next pass split the register into
DACH core,benchmark, anddomain-specific packagingsub-registers?
