Prof. Dr. Horst-Michael Ludwig

Construction Materials Professorship

In my work on the University Council of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, I hope to engender cross-faculty coordination on crucial contemporary issues in construction, such as CO2 reduction, resource efficiency and various other aspects of sustainability. To this end, I keenly contribute my expertise as an internationally networked researcher. Intensive communication - both within the university and beyond - is particularly important to me, to ensure that important discussions can be held on a basis of mutual understanding.

WORK FOCUS AND INTERESTS

- Construction materials research
- Climate protection
- Conservation of resources
- Development of new strategies to accelerate practical implementation of research findings
- Improving framework conditions for the establishment of start-up companies on the basis of current research findings
