Heinz Siesler

Heinz Siesler is an Emeritus Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, with main research interests in the application of vibrational spectroscopy (Raman, mid-IR and NIR) to chemical and polymer research, analysis and quality/process control. He has extensive industrial experience in molecular spectroscopy and thermal analysis gained while working in R&D for Bayer AG, Germany. He also lectured at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, and worked as a post-doc at the University of Cologne, Germany, after receiving his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Vienna, Austria, in 1970. Heinz continues to supervise PhD students, host guest professors and work as a consultant and a short-course teacher in instrumentation for vibrational spectroscopy, materials science and process control.
