About the Person
Dr. Maria Keil has been a research assistant in the research group “Retail and Logistics Management” of Prof. Dr. Matthias Klumpp since April 2025.
In 2025, she completed her doctorate at Technical University of Darmstadt. The title of her cumulative dissertation is “The Human Factor in Logistics: Physiological and Psychological Insights regarding Truck Drivers.” Her research focuses particularly on the fields of logistics, human factors, occupational and health psychology, as well as physiological and psychological stress in the transportation sector.
She has been a medical technologist in radiology since 2008 and completed a diploma in Health Care Management in 2013, a B.A. in Business and Management in 2015, and an M.Sc. in Business Psychology in 2018. In addition, in 2012 she was certified as a vocational trainer by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
From 2009 to 2015, she worked in neurofunctional research at the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University Medical Center Göttingen. In 2015–2016, she gained experience as a hospital project manager, followed by three years in psychiatric research. Before moving to Bremen, she worked in research and teaching at the University of Applied Sciences for Economics & Management, the University of Göttingen, and Darmstadt University of Technology.
