New splendor at the TU Berlin: Impulses through fresh professorships!
On March 24, 2025, the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) published significant personnel decisions. In particular, the appointments and changes within the teaching staff show an active and dynamic everyday academic life at the university.
One of the most important new appointments is the appointment of Professor Dr. Maya Adena in the field of “Applied Microeconomics”, which received her appointment on December 11, 2024. In addition to her, several other professorships were filled, including Professor Dr. Beate Bender for “rail vehicles” and Professor Dr. Angela Busse, which works in the field of “numerical fluid dynamics”. Their appointments are part of a strategic development of the TU Berlin, which aims to increase research and teaching competence.
Personnel changes and retirements
Not only has the university created new professorships, but some professorships have also expired. That's how it will be Professor Dr. Mario Birkholz in the field of “bioelectronics” as well Professor Dr. Christoph Genzel for “Non-destructive material characterization” will leave active service on March 31, 2024.
In addition, numerous academic employees are retiring. The most well-known names include: Professor Dr. Norbert Esser and Professor Matthias Rötting, both of whom will retire on September 30, 2024.
The TU Berlin not only remains active in the areas of professors and teaching, but also continues to attract talented researchers, as the recent negotiations for residency show. Professor Dr. Steve Albrecht, who researches solar cells, has rejected his offer to the University of Oxford PV and is therefore staying at the TU Berlin.
Documentation of personal details
An important aspect in this development is the documentary recording of all professors and scientific staff at the TU. The Catalog Professorum currently contains around 2,500 entries and comprehensively documents vital data and other relevant information about university members.
The university archive of the TU Berlin plays a central role here. It not only opens up and preserves historical documents, but also provides information about the university's rich history. The holdings include around 3,000 meters of archive material, which is accessible to the public for research and publication purposes. Particular mention is made of the difficulties of maintaining the archives during the Second World War, when a large proportion of the documents were destroyed.
With these decisions, the TU Berlin is sending a clear signal for research and teaching and is well positioned for the challenges ahead. The developments in the staff reports reflect the ongoing momentum and progress underway at this renowned institution.
