Hermann-Josef Wagner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann-Josef Wagner (born January 3, 1950 in St. Katharinen ) is a German scientist and university professor.

Life

After graduating from high school , he studied electrical engineering with a focus on "Electrical power engineering - specialization in nuclear reactor technology" at RWTH Aachen University . The former nuclear research facility in Jülich (today Forschungszentrum Jülich) gave him a doctoral scholarship for 3 years. After two years he switched to the position of research assistant. He received his doctorate in 1978 at RWTH Aachen University under Rudolf Schulten in the mechanical engineering faculty. In the following years he worked as a research assistant at the Research Center Jülich and in the scientific service of the German Bundestag for the two study commissions "Future Nuclear Energy Policy". In the second commission of inquiry he was deputy secretary of the commission.

In 1983 he was appointed head of the research group "Systems Analysis and Technological Development (STE)" at the Jülich nuclear research facility (today Jülich Research Center ). This group worked in the areas of raw material availability, energy models and long-term energy planning, also together with institutions in Brazil, Russia, Indonesia and China.

In 1992 he took over a professorship at the Technical University of Berlin . In 1994 he was appointed honorary professor at the University of Duisburg and in the same year he was appointed full professor at the University of Essen . As dean , he was involved in the preparations for the foundation of today's University of Duisburg-Essen . Since 2001 he has held the Chair of Energy Systems and Energy Economics at the Ruhr University in Bochum .

The focus of his scientific work is the energy and emissions-related evaluation of energy systems. He helped to develop the methodology of the cumulative energy and CO 2 analysis, a predecessor of the life cycle assessment that is used worldwide today .

He participated intensively in the energy dialogue in the Federal Republic of Germany. He was chairman of the “Gesellschaft Energietechnik” for 6 years and chairman of the “Energy and Environment” society in the Association of German Engineers , to which more than 23,000 of the 156,000 VDI members were assigned.

He was one of the contributors to the report on the options for phasing out nuclear energy in Germany drawn up by the Leopoldina National Academy of Sciences at the request of the Federal Ministry of Research after the nuclear reactor accident in Japan in 2011. The results determined the decisions of the German Bundestag.

Wagner is married and has two children.
