Maximilian Dorfer

Maximilian Dorfer is a Researcher at the Institute of Soil Bioengineering and Landscape Construction within the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on integrating vegetation into flood protection infrastructure and climate change adaptation projects.

• Current Projects:
  • Vegetation on flood protection dams and climate change (2025-2031)
  • CLIMATE-FIT vegetation on flood control dams (2023-2028)
• Research Themes:
  • Innovative natural hazard mitigation using bioengineered systems
  • Climate resilience in alpine and urban infrastructure
  • Vegetation-based slope stabilization techniques

As part of BOKU's Department of Landscape, Water and Infrastructure, his work bridges ecological solutions with civil engineering challenges. Though no publications or awards are currently listed, his active involvement in research projects indicates ongoing contributions to sustainable geotechnical practices.
