Hermann Huber

Hermann Huber serves as Senior Lecturer and Course Director in Design and Green Engineering at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, focusing on sustainable construction materials and UN Sustainable Development Goals. His work bridges academic instruction with applied research in eco-friendly building systems.

Research interests center on Wood Science and Technology, Sustainable Construction, and Circular Economy in Construction, with emphasis on wood properties, thermal activation systems, and non-destructive testing methodologies. Key investigations include electron beam surface modification, recycled wood insulation, and energy-efficient building structures.

Recent publications (2019-2025) reveal strong thematic continuity in sustainable wood applications, particularly in recycled material valorization, thermally activated systems for energy storage, and advanced wood treatment techniques. This work consistently addresses circular economy principles within construction.

Huber actively leads and contributes to major research initiatives including HABITABLE (Erasmus project for sustainable habitat vocational training), Activation.Wood (thermally activated systems research), and parametric timber construction solutions. These projects involve international collaborations addressing circularity and sustainable building practices across Europe.
