Chairs in Engineering
The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) is a vibrant hub of interdisciplinary research and education, committed to excellence in science, engineering, and healthcare. Among its many initiatives, the faculty hosts three prestigious chairs that serve as focal points for innovation, collaboration, and societal impact.
ArcelorMittal Chair of Steel Construction

Steel structures for the future
Created in 2010, the Chair binds research and real-world solutions in three axis: the research of constructional steel solutions towards sustainability and zero carbon emission by circular economy, an exploration of timber as a partner for efficient and green steel structure, and further committee work and involvement in the European standards development. The Chair is held by Prof. Christoph Odenbreit.
Paul Wurth Chair of Energy Process Engineering

Green ammonia as a hydrogen vector
Launched in 2021, the Paul Wurth Chair is active in fundamental and applied hydrogen research by developing novel materials and membranes for separation and purification of hydrogen from gas mixtures; new technologies to convert green ammonia to green hydrogen using catalytic and electrochemical approaches, and green hydrogen infrastructure in Luxembourg. The Chair is held by Prof. Bradley Ladewig.
CERATIZIT Chair in Hard and Advanced Materials

Future materials
The Chair was established in July 2025 by CERATIZIT and the University of Luxembourg to promote education and research in pioneering materials and manufacturing technologies. The Chair is held by Prof. Ralph Useldinger.
