Prof. Dr. Magnus Fröhling
Academic Career and Research Areas
Professor Fröhling develops quantitative approaches for the analysis, assessment and planning of circular economy and bioeconomy systems, including technologies for recycling and biomass conversion, as well as biorefineries, production and recycling networks and global material cycles.
Professor Fröhling studied industrial engineering and management at Karlsruhe University. In 2005, he received his PhD for a thesis on material flow-based production planning in process industries. He established a mainly third-party-funded research group at Karlsruhe University and obtained his post-doctoral teaching qualification (Habilitation) in 2011 at the Karlsruhe Institutue of Technology (KIT) with his thesis on resource and energy efficiency in industrial value chains. In 2015, Magnus Fröhling was appointed as professor of Business Administration, esp. Resource Management at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. In 2018, he joined TUM as professor of Circular Economy at the TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability.
