His research activities are in the area of Software Architectures and Telematics, Collaborative Systems, and Digital (Business). Often, the research is being done in conjunction with industrial partners and international research centers (such as Daimler Resarch, SAP Research, Australian Antarctic Division). He has lectured and researched internationally at Tongji-University Shanghai (China), Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (Brazil), and the Grand Ecole EMAC (Albi, France).

Achim P. Karduck holds a Diplom degree (comparable to B.Sc. Hons.) from Furtwangen University (Germany), a Master of Science degree in Man-Computer Systems from DeMontfort University (UK), and a Ph.D. in Telematics from Freiburg University (Germany), IIG-Institute for Telematics. During this time, he had placements in the software development at Hewlett-Packard (Böblingen) and Nixdorf-Computer - Office Automation (Berlin), as freelance software engineer at CAE-consulting (Freiburg), scientific employee at the Research Center for Applied Knowledge Engineering (FAW, Ulm), and scientific employee at Freiburg University.
