Norbert Schwarzer graduated in physics from the University of Chemnitz, Germany, in 1991. After several research projects abroad and a PhD in contact mechanics in 1998, he became an assistant professor at the University of Chemnitz in 1999. In 2005, he founded Saxonian Institute of Surface Mechanics. Dr Schwarzer has published a variety of papers in the fields of basic research and application of contact mechanical approaches for laminates, composites, and layered materials. Due to the need for better stability prediction and socioeconomic models, he started to apply the concepts from theoretical physics in more down-to-earth fields such as materials science, school transport, and sales market analysis. Some of this work finally led to the ideas for the improvement of the original theoretical concepts. See less
