Kassel materials engineering professor admitted to WAW

Professor Dr.-Ing. Thomas Niendorf, Head of the Department of Metallic Materials at the Institute of Materials Engineering at the University of Kassel since 2015, was able to attend a working group meeting of the WAW (Scientific Working Group of University Professors of Materials Engineering) for the first time in May 2019. New members are proposed to the WAW from the professional circles and then elected. Niendorf was elected in the fall of last year.

He is currently one of the youngest members of the WAW with an age of 40. "It is an honor for me to now be part of the working group. I am looking forward to intensive scientific discussions, collaborative research projects and generally the chance to exchange ideas together. I hope to further develop and advance materials engineering in the coming decades through my intensive participation in the WAW, especially in view of the challenges of our time."

WAW membership is a further distinction for the Kassel-based head of the department, who was already able to take on the role of spokesperson for the Young Investigators Committee of the German Society for Materials Science (DGM) last year. Thus, Niendorf is present in important committees of the German materials engineering community and will present the University of Kassel in a widely visible way.
