SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR / MANAGING DIRECTOR
"What fascinates me about polymers is their chemical and structural diversity and the fact that we can approach their properties from various sides. To understand materials made of several polymer layers be it synthetic, biological, hybrid and also biologically inspired ones, this is our aim – but also to synthesize, modify, process and investigate their behaviour within the environment. Together with my colleagues I develop ideas and foster their creativity and curiosity. In this connection the horizontal knowledge transfer between chemists, engineers, physicists, biologists and mathematicians is important for me. Only this way we can broaden our knowledge and try out things we did not test so far, from the fundamental experiment up to the finished application with our customers from the industry."
The FILK Freiberg Institute gGmbH comprises more than 150 employees who feel committed to the more than one hundred years of institutional history and who, every day anew through their dedicated, imaginative and technically experienced work enhance the unique material competence of the institute and the comprehensive capacities of the accredited test lab belonging to the institute.
