Christoph Brunner
Christoph Brunner is CEO of AEE INTEC in Austria. He studied process engineering at the Graz University of Technology and initially worked as a manger of a laboratory for physical and chemical tests in a tannery. After 10 years as department manager at Joanneum Research he built up the department “Industrial Processes and Energy Systems – IPE” at AEE INTEC in 2010.The main topics of his work are energy and resource efficiency, the integration of renewable energy for industry like solar process heat and membrane distillation for wastewater purification and process water upgrading.
