Jürgen Neubauer

Prof. Dr. Jürgen Neubauer is a Professor of Mineralogy at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern (GeoCenter Northern Bavaria) within Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). He is affiliated with the Chair of Mineralogy under Prof. Dr. Göbbels, with his office located in Room HG 2.210 at Schloßgarten 5a, 91054 Erlangen. His research program bridges fundamental mineralogical principles with practical applications in construction materials science.

Dr. Neubauer's research focuses on the complex mineralogical processes occurring during cement hydration, with particular expertise in:

• Rheology of cement pastes and construction chemical formulations
• Basic hydration mechanisms in Portland cement systems
• Formation and growth mechanisms of the C-S-H phase
• Quantitative analysis of cementitious materials using advanced XRD techniques
• Development of ternary binders based on Portland cement, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) and anhydrite

His recent publications (2022-2025) reveal a sophisticated research program examining the fundamental interactions between different cement components, the influence of additives on hydration kinetics, and the resulting microstructural development. His work demonstrates particular strength in combining quantitative phase analysis with rheological measurements to understand the complex relationship between chemical reactions and material properties during early cement hydration.

Dr. Neubauer maintains active collaborations with researchers across multiple institutions on projects related to cement chemistry and construction materials. His work contributes significantly to the understanding of cementitious systems, with practical implications for developing more sustainable and high-performance construction materials that address modern engineering challenges.
