Biography

1978 – 1983 Wood Science and Technology Univ. of Hamburg
1988 – PhD at Faculty of Wood Biology Univ. of Hamburg
1987 – 2002 Research Scientist, Wood Lab of Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories of Materials Testing & Research, Zurich
2003 – 2011 Head Wood Lab of Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories of Materials Testing and Research, Zurich
Since 04/2011 Prof Wood Science and head Wood Research Munich, Tech. Univ. Munich

Academic teaching, research and development in the areas wood material science, wood technology and sustainability of forest based products. Research with focus on (i) wood adhe-sion technology to elucidate the properties of adhesives for structural timber bonding, and more general the structure prop-erty relationship of wood matrix polymers and synthetic and in-organic elements, and (ii) substance flow analysis to enhance the material efficiency of forest based materials.
