Biography
Ueli Angst obtained his degrees in civil engineering from ETH Zurich in Switzerland (MSc) and from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU, in Trondheim, Norway (PhD, 2011). Since then,he held a part-time position as Postdoc at the Institute for Building Materials at ETH Zurich, where he conducted independent scientific research, was involved in teaching and supervising, and actively participated in national and international committees. Additionally, he held a part-time position as a corrosion consultant at the Swiss Society for Corrosion Protection, which is the leading agency in the field of corrosion in Switzerland. This gave me many opportunities to see the relevant problems in engineering practice and to identify specific scientific questions that need to be addressed. In 2016,he received a prestigious professorship grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This allows me to establish my own research group on Durability of Engineering Materials at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
