Occupation: retired

Last employment until 2023: Professor at Tokai University, Faculty of Engineering Department of Materials Science Kitakaname 4-1-1, Hiratsuka-shi 259-1292 Kangawa-ken, Japan Tel : +81-90-7436-0253 Email: wi-wunder ( a t ) rocketmail.com

During the time as Professor at Tokai University I had worked in Materials Science on the development of functional materials, that are metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and their thin films, with the purpose to reduce the CO₂-emission on Earth.

The research of our group included the following topics:
- development of thermoelectric materials by improving the electron-phonon interaction (EPI),
- ab-initio band structure simulations,
- crystal engineering, especially interfaces,
- knowledge discovery (KDD) by data mining,
- specimen fabrication by powder-in-tube (PIT) powder metallurgy
