Robert B. Heimann (born December 31, 1938 in Görlitz ) is a German mineralogist and materials scientist.

Life

Heimann attended elementary school and high school in Görlitz. After graduating from high school in June 1956, he studied at the later TH for chemistry "Carl Schorlemmer" Leuna-Merseburg materials management (chemistry). After two years as an apparatus operator for VEB Chemische Werke Buna in Schkopau, he studied mining in 1959/60 , later mineralogy at RWTH Aachen . In January 1960 he was reciprocated in the Corps Marcomannia Breslau in Cologne and Aachen . From 1960 he studied mineralogy at the Free University of Berlin .

In 1963 he passed the examination as a qualified mineralogist and was awarded a Dr. rer. nat. PhD. He stayed at the FU for eleven years. In 1972 he completed his habilitation in mineralogy and crystal chemistry . He was appointed adjunct professor in 1977 and then worked as a lecturer at the Mineralogical Institute of the University of Karlsruhe until 1979 . 1979–1981 he was Research Associate at the Institute for Materials Science at McMaster University in Hamilton (Ontario) . He was also a visiting professor at the University of Toronto . In 1980/81 he worked in the research department of 3M Canada in Toronto. From 1982 to 1986 he was employed as a geochemist with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited , Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment (WNRE) in Manitoba . He then spent six years as a research manager at the Alberta Research Council in Edmonton (now: Alberta Innovates).

Returned to Germany in 1993, he was a university professor (C3) at the Institute for Mineralogy at the Technical University of Bergakademie Freiberg for eleven years . After he retired on April 1, 2004, he was the owner and president of a consulting company (Oceangate) in Hann Münden for four years . Since 2009 he has lived in his hometown Görlitz again and works as a writer. Since November 2018 he has also been the old man of the Corps Borussia Tübingen .
