Dr. Ulrich Teipel, 45, Verfahrenstechniker und bisheriger stellvertretender Leiter des Produktbereichs "Energetische Materialien", wechselt vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Chemische Technologie ICT in Pfinztal an die Georg-Simon-Ohm Fachhochschule Nürnberg, um dort den Lehrstuhl für Mechanische Verfahrenstechnik, Partikeltechnologie und Fluidmechanik zu übernehmen. Die offizielle Berufung erfolgte durch den Rektor der FH Nürnberg, Professor Dr. Herbert Eichele im Auftrag des Bayerischen Staatsministers für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst, Dr. Thomas Goppel. Nach seinem Maschinenbau-Studium an der RWTH Aachen setzte Ulrich Teipel seine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn 1991 im ICT mit Arbeiten zur mechanischen Verfahrenstechnik fort, promovierte extern an der Universität Bayreuth und wurde 1996 zum stellvertretenden Leiter der Abteilung "Energetische Materialien" des Fraunhofer ICT berufen. Er hat dort insbesondere die Partikeltechnologie ausgebaut und sich einen hervorragenden Ruf in der mechanischen Verfahrenstechnik erarbeitet, unter anderem auch durch die Begründung der ICT-Kongressreihe "Partikeltechnologie". Er wird dem Fraunhofer ICT im Rahmen einer vertraglich vereinbarten Zusammenarbeit weiterhin eng verbunden bleiben und dort die entsprechenden wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten betreuen.

"I think this is a very worthwhile project. There is definitely a requirement for a book of this type. I was impressed with the enthusiasm, knowledge and quality of the work of Dr. Teipel: I believe he is very highly qualified to be the editor of this book. It is a very timely subject matter for publication. The ICT has an excellent reputation as leaders in the field. I am sure this reputation and record of achievement will assure a very successful book'
Dr. Atkins - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, The Energetic Materials Center, CA, USA

"This is an important and growing area at present and yes there is a need for such a publication. Authors'/editor's standing: Very good."
Dr. Cumming, Defense Research Agency, Fort Halstead, UK

"The concept seems to be very good and well built. The subject will be described by well-known specialists in the field. Editor as well as authors are respected people in the scientific community."
Professor Schmidt, Bergische Univ. Wuppertal

"There is no doubt that the book "Energetic Materials" is equally relevant for chemists, chemical engineers, physicists and material scientists. The text is a "must" for everyone who is seriously involved in the scientific aspects of the synthesis, production, formulation and processing of energetic materials."
Angewandte Chemie I.E.
