Gert Heinrich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gert Heinrich (born December 13, 1950 in Plauen ) is a German physicist , materials scientist and university professor .

Career

Gert Heinrich grew up in Pausa / Vogtland and began studying physics as a bricklayer at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena in 1969 after graduating from high school and as a skilled worker , which he completed in 1973 with his diploma thesis in the “Applied Quantum Theory” department under Gerhard Weber on the subject of “Zur Theory of Multiphoton Processes in Strong Electromagnetic Fields ”. He then worked as a scientific assistant and senior assistant in the physics section at the Technical University of Carl Schorlemmer Leuna-Merseburg (THLM) . He received his doctorate in the field of theoretical physics under the supervision of Günter Helmis in 1978 on the subject of "Mechanical properties of polymer networks taking into account the impenetrability of network chains".

In 1984 he obtained the Facultas Docendi in Theoretical Physics and completed his habilitation in 1985 with his dissertation “Development and application of a theory of polymer networks and melts taking into account the preservation of topology in terms of molecular field theory”. In 1987 he was appointed full professor for theoretical physics at the THLM. From 1987 to 1988 he was a visiting scientist at Charles University and at the Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the CSSR in Prague .

From 1990 to 2002 he was Senior Research Scientist and Head of Department for Materials Research in the central areas of tire research and strategic technology at Continental AG , Hanover .

As a lecturer, he also taught “Physics and Technology of Polymers” at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University in Hanover at the Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry from 1991–1996 , and “Elastomer Materials and Testing” at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg from 2002–2005 .

From 2003 to 2016 he was C4 (W3) professor for polymer materials and elastomer technology at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Dresden and at the same time director of the Institute for Polymer Materials at the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research Dresden e. V. Since then he has worked as a senior research professor at the TU Dresden.

In 2009 he turned down an offer for a W3 professorship in “Micro- and Nanostructure-Based Polymer Composites” at the Martin Luther University Halle / Wittenberg and the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) Halle / S. from.

From 2005 to 2012 he was an elected member of the chemistry / polymer science review board of the German Research Foundation (DFG). At the same time he headed the research group FOR 597 “Statistical Mechanics and Fracture Mechanics of Rubbers”, which is funded by the DFG.

Gert Heinrich is the author and co-author of more than 800 scientific articles, patents and books on the physics and theory of polymer networks, mechanical reinforcement, production and processing of polymeric materials and elastomers, composite materials, rubber technology, friction and wear of elastomers, physics and technology of Car and truck tires. He founded the research field "Rubberiomics" as a concept for holistic research approaches to elastomers.

He also works as a consultant for companies in the polymer and tire industries. From 2005 to 2015 he organized international conferences on research and development of automobile tires in Dresden . From 2007 to 2016 he regularly organized seminars for doctoral students and guest researchers in Pausa / Vogtland, as well as annual discussion forums at the same location since 1990, among others with the publicist, teacher and political activist Wolfgang Mayer and the physicist, university professor and founder of Supracon AG ( Jena ) Hans-Georg Meyer.

Private life

Gert Heinrich has been married since 1975 and has two grown daughters.
