About
Prof Holweger is a Visiting Professor for the Operartional Research group in the School of Mathematical Sciences.
Currently, he is working on the development and integration of sustainable and green based high-tech materials for a prominent bearing supplier as well as the implementation of ML based life-cycle prediction tools covering the substitution of ecological and toxicological chemicals.
He was formerly engaged as a Visiting Professor at the national Centre for Advanced Tribology at Southampton (nCATS) through his role at Schaeffler Technologies in Germany.
