Frank Will

Prof. Frank Will holds the Chair of Construction Machinery at Technische Universität Dresden since December 1, 2017. Born in Cologne (1965) and raised in Bremen, he emphasizes the critical role of construction machinery in infrastructure development (buildings, transportation routes, stadiums).

• Research focuses on application-oriented construction machinery technology
• Advocates interdisciplinary collaboration across mechanical engineering and related fields
• Highlights importance of digitalization and autonomy (Construction Machinery 4.0)

His academic philosophy prioritizes practical experience transfer to students while maintaining traditional mechanical engineering principles. As a lifelong mechanical engineering advocate, he suggests broader interdisciplinary exploration would still lead him back to his original field.
