Conrad Völker

Prof. Dr. Conrad Völker serves as Professor of Building Physics at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Bauhaus University Weimar. His research utilizes specialized laboratories to visualize and analyze physical phenomena including air currents, sound waves, and building temperature dynamics, with direct applications in thermal insulation and indoor climate optimization.

His core research domains encompass:

• Building Physics
• Acoustics engineering
• Thermal insulation systems
• Indoor environmental quality

Current initiatives involve hands-on construction projects with students and operation of Weimar's public weather station (www.wetter-weimar.de), which provides real-time meteorological data for validating computational building models. His educational outreach includes developing continuing education programs for students and professionals, alongside Children's University lectures designed to inspire future engineers through practical demonstrations of building science principles.

Prof. Völker emphasizes historical scientific foundations while advocating for greater gender diversity in physics, frequently referencing pioneers like Fourier, Boltzmann, Curie, and Einstein in his teaching methodology.
