About Christoph Hossfeld

During more than 20 years of experience in engineering and project management in the automotive field, I developed and kept my passion for innovation, new technologies and continuous learning. Strong technical, management and interpersonal skills drove several innovative projects, like exhaust heat recovery systems (Coolant warm up on Ford F150/Maverick & Kia Niro (all in series production and more to come)) or metal foam applications (Electrical heated catalyst (awarded for series)) from the igniting idea close to or into series production just to name two. Able to deal with Multiphysics systems, creative, mastering innovation and product development process, smooth and structured collaboration with team members. Presentation skills to the point. My other further competencies are • Expertise knowledge on heat and mass transfer including fluid dynamics. • Advanced knowledge on metal foam • “Learning on the fly” on “new” challenges • Broad technical understanding • Proven scientific approach for problem solving • Intellectual property watch (internal and external) • Demonstrated international and intercultural networking and coordination • “Hands on” team management • Synthesize and transfer knowledge • Development and implementation of new methods (Testing, simulation, and data analyzing)
