life and career

Harald Raupenstrauch was born on March 26, 1961 in the Upper Austrian town of Schwanenstadt, where he also attended elementary school from 1967 to 1971. He then moved to the Bundesrealgymnasium in Vöcklabruck , where he went from 1971 to 1975. He then moved to the HTL Vöcklabruck , where he studied industrial engineering until 1980. He completed his training there in June 1980 with the Matura with excellent success. After graduating from school, he did his military service in Steyr and Salzburg from September 1980 to March 1981 and then began studying process engineering with the chemical plant construction elective group at the Graz University of Technology . Towards the end of his studies there, he worked from June 1987 to June 1988 as a research assistant at the Institute for Thermal Process Engineering at Graz University of Technology. In June 1988 he passed his second diploma examination with excellent results and received his graduation that same month . At this point he was already married and a father of two.

From 1988 Raupenstrauch was employed as a university assistant at the Department of Apparatus and Mechanical Process Engineering at Graz University of Technology under Gernot Staudinger (* 1940) and from this time until 1991 wrote his dissertation with the title A Contribution to the Computer Simulation of Reactive Layers . His final exam he joined in December 1991, again with honors and was immediately a Doctor of Technical Sciences PhD . His dissertation was awarded the highest rate of the Association of Austrian Industrialists and funded in July 1992 . From 1992 to 1997 Raupenstrauch wrote his habilitation with the title Gas-flowed, chemically reacting bulk layers . In November 1998 he received his license to teach as a university lecturer for gas / solid reactions and particle technology , but before that he had already worked as a professor at various universities. For example, he was employed as a visiting professor at the School of Chemical Engineering at Queen's University Belfast within the framework of the EU program Training and Mobility of Researchers from January 1 to June 30, 1998 , and joined the institute as an associate professor on March 1, 1998 for apparatus engineering, mechanical process engineering and combustion technology of the Graz University of Technology in appearance.

In December 1999 he was a guest lecturer at the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg as part of the PhD program for Schüttschichten . He then continued his visiting professorships in English-speaking countries and was visiting professor at the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Rutgers University in New Jersey from September to November 2000 as part of the Fulbright program . After a visiting professorship as part of the Socrates program in the Thermal Power Engineering Section at Delft University of Technology in April 2002, he returned to the School of Chemical Engineering at Queen's University Belfast via the Socrates program in October of the same year , before coming to Invitation from the Montan University Leoben to represent the emeritus university professor Christian God in October 2002 became visiting professor at the Institute for Heat Engineering, Industrial Furnace Construction and Energy Management at the Montan University Leoben . He held this position until September 2004 and at the same time, at the invitation of Rutgers University, was employed again as a visiting professor at Rutgers from December 2002 to June 2003.

From 2003 he appeared as a lecturer in the context of the university-level course on environmental hazards and disaster management at the ABC Defense School Korneuburg and in February 2004 was again visiting professor at the School of Chemical Engineering at Queen's University Belfast. As early as autumn 2003, he was included in the three-man proposal for a replacement for the Institute for Energy Technology at the Technical University of Munich , where KRG Hein was to succeed. In October 2004 he accepted the call to the Montanuniversität Leoben , where he was appointed as a university professor for heat engineering at the chair for heat engineering, industrial furnace construction and energy management. The time limit was subsequently lifted and Raupenstrauch received a permanent contract. On January 1, 2007, the native of Upper Austria took over the chair for thermal process technology at the Montanuniversität Leoben. After Christian God retired in 2000, Werner Kepplinger from Linz took over the provisional management of the institute.

On March 12, 2014, caterpillar shrub received the Energy Globe Award in the field of research from Energy Globe Styria . In 2015 Raupenstrauch gave a lecture entitled 2015: The end of the energy transition at the European Forum Alpbach . After he had taken in the period 2004-2017 numerous guest professorships, he was also last from August 2017 to December 2017 as a visiting professor at the University of Zambia automatically and immediately afterwards from December 2017 to January 2018 as a visiting professor at the University of Lucerne deals . To date (as of May 13, 2019) he supervised 101 theses from 2006 to 2019 and has been involved in 234 publications since 2005. He also appears as a member of the university professors in the Senate of the Montan University, is the 1st deputy of the Department of Environmental and Energy Process Engineering, head of the university course in process and plant safety, emergency and disaster management and the associated master’s degree, as well as a substitute member of the works council for academic university staff.
