Schmidt, Jochen (Dr. rer. nat.)

Curriculum Vitae

Jochen Schmidt is a group leader at the Institute of Interfaces and Particle Technology of FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. He received his diploma in Chemistry (2004) and his doctoral degree in Physical Chemistry (2008) from Friedrich Schiller University Jena. In 2025 he completed his habilitation in Particle Technology at the Faculty of Engineering of FAU with a thesis on processes for production and functionalization of powder feedstocks for laser powder bed fusion of polymers and powder feedstock characterization.
