research area: Directe Numerical Simulation of the laminar-turbulent boundary-layer transition in hypersonic flows; supercision of thesis work and Ph.D. students in my working group; active participation in national and international research groups and alliances; cooperation with the University of Queensland, Brisbane, as part of the TUM flagship partner alliance

Which topics are important for the future School Council for me?

• talent management for scientific staff members at the School: How can we help developing careers of scientists for tenures staff for the special needs of engineers. The course offerings of the life-long learning program is certainly helpful but has to be adapted to the broad range of challenges modern engineers face conducting their own research. Engineers are often experts in teaching, research, management and administration rather than specialists in any of the 'columns' offered through the CareerDesign@TUM talent management program. How can this help to be an attractive employer for future tenured research staff at a high level of scientific achievement
• How to design the newly planned 'tech-core facilities' from an acdemic staff perspective?
• actively participating in the development of measures to meet the needs and foster the ideas in the new School for scientific staff, development of work shares where scientific staff can participate in the School administration in unison with the responsibilities the staff member carry in their chairs
• increased visibility, recognition and appreciation of the work share scientific staff shoulders and contributes to the success of the School and TUM
• to establish the scientific staff as a group with a potential for scientific and academic progess and development rather than as a problem once the chair holder goes into retirement as quite often, the scientific staff is considered an inhibiting factor rather than a warrantor for administrative continuity for the students together with the non-scientific staff
• to increase the compatibility of family and work at the School. Were the measures taken by TUM helpful/successful/effective during the Corona locakdown? What can we learn from it?
