Our Staff Scientist Johannes Schicker has been part of Carinthian Tech Research (CTR) since 2010 – well before it was merged with SAL. He completed his studies in civil engineering at the Technical University of Berlin before launching his research career at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in the same city. After several other exciting positions in Northern Germany, he ended up in Austria – Villach to be precise, beloved by Johannes “for its proximity to Italy”.
