Jörg Patzak

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Patzak is a full-time professor of transportation engineering at the Berlin University of Technology (BHT), Department III - Civil Engineering and Geoinformation. He specializes in asphalt pavement analysis, structural assessment, and mechanical deformation behavior of road materials.

• Current Role: Professor of Traffic Infrastructure Engineering (since 2020)
• Research Focus: Road pavement dimensioning, maintenance strategies, and material testing under thermal stress
• Key Collaborations: IDAV GmbH, TU Dresden, Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt)

His research explores asphalt pavement durability under climate change impacts, including frost simulation and temperature-induced material deformation. Recent publications analyze hybrid pavement systems, granular base materials, and computational models for predictive maintenance.

Prof. Patzak leads the Laboratory and Testing Center for Asphalts at BHT and contributes to national research programs like Germany's BMBF High TechMatBau initiative.
