Short Bio:
As the current head of the Chair of Glass and Glass Ceramics at RWTH Aachen University in Germany and the Institute of Mineralogy at RWTH Aachen University, Christian Roos has been working for more than 25 years on glasses and glass ceramics, their production and properties of a thermo-dynamic, kinetic and structural nature. The sustainable glass production and transitions between glassy and crystalline states are a focus of his work.
From 1998 to 2008 he was a scientist at Schott AG in Germany in international research and development, among other things in the field of production and processing of display glass and the development of glass-ceramics. From 2009 to 2023 he was managing director of the international research association IPGR and in parallel since 2016 head of the above-mentioned Chair of Glass and Glass Ceramics at RWTH Aachen University and since 2019 head of the Institute of Mineral Engineering at RWTH Aachen University.
He is a member of the board of the German Glass Technology Society, editor of the European Journal of Glass Science and Technology and act as a reviewer for the DFG - German Research Foundation, the Journal of Advanced Ceramics, the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, for the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity and for the German Academic Exchange Service. He was also a guest lecturer at the University of Jena.
In teaching, he covers the entire breadth of glass technology, starting from thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals to material properties such as mechanical and thermomechanical properties, glass structure and glassy-crystalline transformation through to the technological implementation of industrial processes such as melting, molding and post-processing.
