Prof. Dr.-Ing. Steven X. Ding has received the “Highly Cited Researchers Award 2025” along with seven other scientists from the University Duisburg-Essen. According to Clarivate their annual Highly Cited Researchers list honors researchers who have “authored multiple Highly Cited Papers which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science Core Collection over the past eleven years. However, citation activity is not the sole selection indicator. This list, based on citation data, is then refined using other quantitative metrics, as well as qualitative analysis and expert judgment”. Prof. Ding has already been recognized with this award in each consecutive year since 2017. This year he is among the 6,868 researchers worldwide who have the greatest scientific influence.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Steven X. Ding is Senior Professor of Automation Engineering and Complex Systems in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen. His work focuses on the analysis, monitoring and control of complex dynamic systems. Central to his research are model-based and data-driven methods for process monitoring, fault diagnosis and the development of fault-tolerant systems. Another emphasis is the use of digital twins to make technical processes more precise and resilient. Applications of his research range from automotive systems to chemical processes, renewable energy systems, and intelligent buildings and energy networks.
