Prof. Dr. Alexander Stolz is a Full Professor (W3) at the University of Freiburg's Institute for Advanced Study in Science and Technology (i-natech), leading the Chair for Resilience Engineering for Technical Systems since 2020. Previously, he held leadership roles at Fraunhofer EMI, including Head of the 'Security Technology and Structural Protection' Department (2014-2020) and Group Leader for 'Safety of Structures' (2011-2014). His research focuses on resilience engineering, critical infrastructure protection, blast effects on structures, and risk management. He has been actively involved in European expert groups, serving as coordinator for ERNCIP (European Reference Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection) since 2012 and as a member of the Transport Research Board's AMR 10 Standing Committee since 2017.
Education includes a PhD in Civil Engineering from Bergische Universität Wuppertal (2010) and prior scientific work in structural dynamics at Fraunhofer EMI. His awards include the 2003 Association of German Engineers (Bergischer Bezirksverein) award.
Research interests span structural safety under extreme events, socio-technical system resilience, and computational modeling of material behavior. Recent publications address blast mitigation measures, cyber-physical threats to infrastructure, and resilience frameworks for energy and transportation systems. He collaborates internationally on projects involving resilience quantification, modular evaluation systems, and innovative materials for structural protection.
Grants and projects include investigations into road infrastructure resilience, gas network security, and hybrid threat analysis in air traffic systems. His work emphasizes practical applications of resilience engineering principles across sectors including energy, transportation, and healthcare.
