CV
Biography
- Dr. Clemens Kielhauser, born 22.03.1983 in Vienna, studied civil engineering with a focus on resource management and waste management systems at the Vienna University of Technology and wrote his diploma thesis on the implementation of the waste management knowledge base. He received his doctorate in infrastructure management from ETH Zurich. Dr Kielhauser conducts research on intervention optimisation for infrastructure networks, automation-supported inspection of infrastructure structures, resilience and safety considerations of infrastructure networks, and safety investigations of bicycle infrastructure. He speaks German, English and French. He was also a Fellow of the Global Future Councils of the World Economic Forum for 2 terms and is a member of the Academic Advisory Panel of the Global Infrastructure Hub.
