Grinding tools are the most up-to-date and at the same time the least known tools for processing. [MOSE80]

Acknowledgments

This thesis was written mainly during my time as postdoc researcher at the Werkzeugmaschinenlabor (WZL) at the RWTH Aachen University, and at the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Sustainability (LMAS) at the University of California Berkeley. The research on the life cycle engineering of abrasive tools was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) through the project LI1939/3-1. Thank you to the DFG for the support and the opportunity to study abroad. I thank Prof. Klocke from the bottom of my heart for mentoring me during my time as research associate at his institute and beyond. Grinding technology, detailed research, and teaching are our shared passion. Prof. Klocke trusted all the while that pursuing an academic career would be the right way for me to go. Thank you for being such a great mentor to me and for introducing me to the international research community! Professor Dornfeld earns my deepest gratitude for hosting me in his laboratory and providing me with excellent opportunities for
