Robert Böhm

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Robert Böhm is a faculty member at the Faculty of Engineering, Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK Leipzig), where he holds the Professorship for Lightweight Construction with Composite Materials. His research focuses on sustainable composite material applications, structural health monitoring, and additive manufacturing technologies.

• Key projects: EuReCOMP (circular economy for composites), SoKoROMed (soft robotics in medicine), and PRINTCAP (3D-printed structural supercapacitors).
• Active in EU clusters like Essence and Carbon Fibres & Advanced High Performance Composites.
• Leads the Composite Circularity Lab and Advanced Materials and Structures Lab, collaborating with institutions like York University and TU Dresden.

His work bridges lightweight construction with applications in renewable energy, medical devices, and CO2-free mobility systems. He presented at the 2025 Intec Trade Fair in Leipzig, showcasing innovations like rotor blade-repurposed seating and noise-dampening 3D-printed components.

The 15 most recent publications emphasize wind turbine blade recycling, structural supercapacitors, 3D-printed composites, and environmental impact assessments. Articles span 2022-2025, with keywords covering materials science, mechanical engineering, and renewable energy.
