Marco Liebscher

Marco Liebscher is an Extraordinary Professor for Circular and Multifunctional Building Materials at Dresden University of Technology's Institute of Construction Materials since 2023, concurrently serving as Group leader (since 2019) and Research Associate (since 2014). His career includes a 2022 guest professorship at Italy's Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia and prior research at Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research (2010-2014).

His educational background features:

• Materials Science degree, Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (2003-2009)
• Doctorate under Prof. Gert Heinrich, Dresden University of Technology (2015)

Liebscher's research pioneers sustainable construction through nanoscale material engineering, focusing on magnesia-based binders, carbon nanomaterials for cementitious composites, and recyclable polymer fiber systems. His work bridges fundamental material science with practical infrastructure applications, emphasizing circular economy principles and durability enhancement across multiple scales.

As Principal Investigator for DFG Collaborative Research Center TRR 339 'Digital twin of the road system' and Co-Investigator in DFG composite durability projects, he directs substantial research funding. His group provides students with access to cutting-edge infrastructure projects and international networks.

Liebscher leads research initiatives through his group at TU Dresden's Institute of Construction Materials, actively contributing to RILEM's global standards development as Deputy Chair of TC CNC and member of TC MBC. His service includes editorial roles for Materials and Structures Journal and prior guest editorship for Nanomaterials Journal.
