Dominik Hüttemann

With a bachelor's degree in Interior Construction and a master's degree in Wood Technology from Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences, Dominik Hüttemann has combined his academic education with the practical skills he acquired as a trained carpenter.

In his small workshop, he still enjoys swapping his desk for the workbench after a day at work. He is passionate about craftsmanship and the natural beauty of the Chiemgau Alps. During the summer months, he explores the surrounding area on foot or by mountain bike, while in winter he enjoys hitting the slopes.

Dominik Hüttemann is equally enthusiastic about travelling and discovering new cultures. For example, an internship at a Japanese carpentry workshop and a practical semester at an interior construction company in Shanghai gave him the opportunity to broaden his horizons, both professionally and personally.

Dominik Hüttemann began his career in research and development through his master's thesis on material flow analysis within the ONEforest project. Since late 2022, he has been working as a research assistant.

Within the ISAR research project, his role focuses on the material recovery of waste wood.

As a project researcher, he specializes in process chain and value chain analyses of the logistics, shredding, and sorting of different waste wood grades, as well as their potential applications. He also investigates the technical and product-specific requirements for waste wood fractions in various applications.

Together with his colleagues, he develops and validates processing concepts for waste wood utilization pathways, actively contributes to the participatory development of different utilization pathways in collaboration with research and industry partners, and works on the development and validation of corresponding business models.
