Field of work

The transfer of results and developments into society is an integral part of scientific work. Research will only have an impact if results are not just created, but also used! However, such transfer does not happen by itself. The KTT coordination therefore serves as central point of contact for our partners in industry and society.

Please do not hesitate to approach me with your ideas and challenges!

Together, we can develop solutions based on the matching DBFZ expertise.

I am also at your service if you are interested in a licence for one of our patents.
