Jörg Neidhardt is heading the Malte Sander studied materials engineering at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany, focusing on glass and process engineering. Fascinated by the material, Malte started a position as a doctoral candidate, in 2018, at the Chair of Glass and Glass-Ceramics in Aachen. During his time at the chair, Malte investigated the effects of electric fields on the crystallization behavior of glass-ceramics and developed glasses for industrial applications.
Alarming reports about the climate crisis shook him up. So, Malte decided to move away from fundamental glass research and help decarbonizing the glass industry.
In 2023, he started his current position as business development manager at Glass Service. In his role, he supports the glass industry in solving problems, optimizing the glass melting process, and reducing carbon emissions.
