Under the leadership of institute director Prof. Werner Hufenbach, the Institute for Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at TU Dresden has become one of the leading national and international research institutes in the fields of lightweight engineering and polymer technology. It is one of the key institutes of TU Dresden, with more than 200 employees and external funding of 12.5 million in 2013. Prof. Hufenbach is regarded as one of the leading figures in the field of lightweight engineering, also thanks to his intensive collaboration with industry and the founding of various companies. The research area of lightweight engineering is a strategically important topic for TU Dresden, and will be pursued further under the leadership of Dr. Hubert J ger.
Dr. Gerd Wingefeld, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of SGL Group, said, Dr. Hubert J ger is an outstanding expert in the field of materials science, particularly in carbon-based materials. One of his major achievements was establishing SGL Groups central R&D organization where he closely linked research and innovation with operational businesses. Here he benefited from his experience in operational management. As a representative of SGL Group in various research committees and associations such as Carbon Composites (CCeV) and the cluster initiative MAI Carbon, Dr. Hubert J ger worked tirelessly to establish a close link between scientific excellence and intercompany industry cooperation. We are delighted for Dr. Hubert J ger and congratulate him on his appointment to the prestigious Hufenbach Chair. We will certainly continue working together closely after his departure.

About the ILK The ILK - with currently tree chairs Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (Prof. Hufenbach), Lightweight Design and Structural Assessment (Prof. Gude) and Function-integrative Lightweight Engineering (Prof. Modler) - carries out extensive research and development in the area of fit-for-purpose lightweight structures and systems. It is a leader in this field in Germany. The ILK specializes in developing, constructing and optimizing high-performance lightweight components and systems as well as prototype production. Depending on requirements, this covers all material categories from steel to aluminum, magnesium and titanium as well as plastics to ceramics in line with their structural and technological properties, in addition to composites with carbon-fiber, filament or textile reinforcement. The breadth of expertise and experience in the ILK team reflects this.
Top-level scientific cooperation is a matter of course at the ILK. The institute works in networks of the relevant university and non-university research institutes, for instance in the Dresden Hochleistungsleichtbau (High-Performance Lightweight Engineering) cluster, the European Center for Emerging Materials and Processes in Dresden (ECEMP) and in the Materialforschungsverbund (Materials Research Network) in Dresden (MFD), which has more than 1,000 materials scientists. In line with the institutes philosophy lightweight engineering solutions from one source, the Dresdner Leichtbausymposium (Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium) held each June by the ILK is firmly established as a lightweight engineering event. The ILK is part of the Mechanical Engineering faculty and the Friedrich List faculty of Transportation and Traffic Sciences at TU Dresden.
