教育背景：
曾在德国慕尼黑应用科技大学学习机械工程专业，主攻汽车工程，在英国米尔顿凯恩斯公开大学获得工商管理硕士学位。

工作背景：
自2007始 乔治费歇尔汽车（中国）有限公司亚洲研发主管
2006 – 2007 乔治费歇尔汽车（中国）有限公司铁制品特别小组组长
2001 – 2006 瑞士乔治费歇尔汽车有限公司战略市场营销主管
1995 – 2001 乔治费歇尔交通运输工程（德国）有限公司工程主管
1993 – 1995 瑞士乔治费歇尔汽车有限公司前期开发主管

内容摘要：

乔治费歇尔汽车产品公司是研发和生产铁安全零件及铝、镁合金的龙头企业。作为一个拥有200年历史和丰富铸造经验的企业，乔治费歇尔公司不仅是欧洲市场的领导者，它在中国市场也在不断取得进步，并设立了两个工厂：昆山的铸铁厂及苏州轻金属高压压铸厂。其成功和创新举措的秘诀在于：材料、设计和工艺创新的同步方法。由于研发部先进的开发过程，GF才能为各种类型的汽车及卡车生产出轻量安全的零部件。

关于设计：
GF采用了一种特殊的，被称为“仿生学”的设计方法。该方法是起源于自然界物竞天择特性。结论是，自然界展示了对所有资源的有效使用。在设计阶段采用仿生设计方法就可以实现最低重量的可能性。

关于工艺：
仅仅一个轻量型优化设计是远远不够的，因为必须确保之后的生产。工艺与设计需要配合，因此，GF也在开发特殊工艺，以实现的电脑轻量化设计进入实际使用。无毛刺铸件及泡沫铝技术为新工艺领域的两个实例。

关于材料：
只有高强度的材料才能提供降低壁厚和减重的可能性。GF开发出一系列新型高强度材料（详细的介绍）。

2006-2007 Head of Iron Task Force China, Georg Fischer Automotive, China

Abstract of Speech:

Georg Fischer Automotive is a leading company in developing and producing safety parts in Iron, Aluminum and Magnesium.The secret of its success and innovative performance is based on simultaneous approach of design-, material- and process innovation. Thanks to this advanced development process in R&D, GF is able to create light weight safety components for all types of vehicles and also trucks.

Regarding Design:GF Automotive is using a special design approach which is called “bionic” design. The method is derived from master nature where you will not find any waste. In consequence, nature is showing efficient usage of any resource. Using bionic design approach leads to lowest possible weight in the design stage.Regarding Process:Having an optimized light weight design is still not enough, since the later production must be ensured. The process and the design need to fit. Therefore, GF Automotive also developed specific processes, which enables our computer light weight design to come to reality. Burr less free casting and aluminium foam are only two examples in a range of new processes.Regarding Material:Only high strength material offers the possibility of reduced wall thickness and in consequence reduced weight. GF automotive developed a range of new high strength materials which are introduced in detail. Reduced weight contributes heavily to the overall target of reduced emissions and low fuel consumption. In that sense GF offers “green” technology to the automotive customers.
