From there, he moved to the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching for nine years as head of the magnetic field technology department , which gave him stays at MIT , Princeton University , Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Los Alamos, as well as in European research institutes such as CERN and made possible in Oxford .
In 1970 he took over the management of his parents' family business OSWALD Elektromotoren GmbH in Miltenberg, which continuously invested in research into magnetic field technology for high-energy physics and superconductivity , bringing together research institutes from Germany, America and Russia. His special commitment was the development of superconducting electric motors. In 2009 he was awarded the Cross of Merit 1st Class of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his life's work and his diverse voluntary and local political commitment .
