Dr.-Ing. Alexander Stolz studied civil engineering at University of Wuppertal and wrote his doctoral thesis about mobilization of bedding stresses in granular soil at the Professorship for Geotechnique. As head of the business unit Security and head of the department Safety Technologies and Protective Structures he is specialized in the experimental investigation and numerical modeling of materials, components and structures under dynamic loads. Additionally, he is substantial experienced in the contribution and management of national and European research projects. His current focus concentrates on the assessement and enhancement of risk and resilience for infrastructure networks, structures and personns to extraordinary and disruptive event.
Experimental and numerical analysis of extraordinary loading cases for build infrastructures. Risk analysis and assessment Design of retrofit or mitigation measures Project acquisition and management measures Project aqusition and managment
