Jörg B. Ressel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jörg Bernhard Ressel (* 1953 ) is a wood scientist and professor at the Institute for Wood Science at the University of Hamburg .

Live and act

From 1976 to 1981 Ressel completed his diploma studies in wood management at the University of Hamburg (diploma thesis: " Comparative energy consumption measurements on veneer dryers "). Between 1981 and 1984 the doctorate to “ Dr. rer. nat. "At the work area Wood Physics and Mechanical Technology of Wood, Department of Biology, University of Hamburg with the topic" Investigations into the energy consumption in the technical drying of sawn timber and ways of reducing it ".

From 1984 to 1985 he was a research assistant at the Federal Research Center for Forestry and Wood Management and was involved in the preparation of the energy analysis for the wood industry in the Federal Republic of Germany.

From 1986 to 1988 Ressel worked as head of the research department at the dryer and plant construction company Brunner-Hildebrand GmbH.  

From 1988 to 1992 he was a project manager for EU projects and technical advisor for the woodworking and processing industry in Scandinavia at the Danish Teknologisk Institute.

From 1992 to 1998 he was a professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Rosenheim with a focus on the properties of wood and wood-based materials, process engineering and corporate planning. Teaching assignments and research work led to stays abroad in SE Asia and Canada.

In 1988 Ressel was appointed professor to the chair for wood physics at what is now the Institute for Wood Science at the University of Hamburg. Until his retirement in spring 2019, Ressel represented the wood industry in various committees in the Department of Biology at the University of Hamburg, most recently as Managing Director of the center.

After retiring as an active university lecturer, he continues to work as a specialist representative at IHW and as a visiting professor at the TUHH and the HCU in Hamburg.
