Notes on the Contributors xvii Jochen Lambauer has studied environmental engineering (Dipl.- Ing., B.Sc.) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and the University of Iceland (Háskolí Islands, Reykjavík), Iceland. Since 2005 he is a research associate at the Institute for Energy Economics and the Rational Use of Energy (IER) at the University of Stuttgart. Lambauer is responsible for research activities in the fields of rational use of energy, energy efficiency, virtual power plants, demand response, and energy impacts of innovations (e.g., nanotechnology). In addition, he is managing director and scientific coordinator of the Graduate and Research School, Efficient Use of Energy, Stuttgart (GREES). Claus Lang-Koetz is an environmental engineer. He obtained his doctorate degree from the University of Stuttgart. He was the manager of the group “Innovative Technologies” at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO, Stuttgart, Germany, and coordinator of the research project ColorSol. He is now working in the machine and plant manufacturing industry as an innovation manager. Qingdang Li studied electronics engineering at the Wuhan University of Technology, China, from 1993 to 1997, economics at the Harbin Institute of Technology, China, from 2000 to 2002, and mechanical engineering at the University of Paderborn from 2003 to 2005. In August 2006 Li joined the Department of Technological Electronics, University of Kassel, Germany, where he worked on his Ph.D. in micro-optical and electromechanical systems with a focus on micromirror applications. Wiebke Lohstroh received her doctorate in physics in 1999 at the Georg-August Universität, Göttingen, Germany. During her stay as postdoctoral fellow at Oxford University (UK) and at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam (the Netherlands), she investigated structural and optical properties of thin films during hydrogen uptake. From 2005 to 2011 she worked at the Institute of Nanotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. In 2011, she joined the Forschungsneutronenquelle Heinz Maier- Leibnitz (FRM II), TU München, Germany. Her work focuses on
xviii Notes on the Contributors materials development for energy storage, i.e., solid state hydrogen storage systems and electrode materials for secondary batteries. Wolfgang Luther works as a consultant and project manager at the VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH in Duesseldorf, Germany, since 1999. He holds a degree in chemistry, a degree in economics, and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry. Dr. Luther’s specific field of competence is the socioeconomic assessment of emerging technologies, in particular nanotechnology. His current main field of activity is the coordination of innovation accompanying measures for nanotechnology within the funding programme of the Federal Ministry of Research and Education. Gudrun Reichenauer works in the field of materials science and physics, with a particular focus on the synthesis and characterization of aerogels and xerogels since more than 20 years. During 1999–2000 she was a research assistant in the group of Prof. G. W. Scherer at Princeton University and the Princeton Materials Institute, NJ, USA. On her return to Germany she became the head of the Nanomaterials group of the Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research (Division: Functional Materials for Energy Technology). Her current research is focussed on the synthesis and characterization of nanoporous materials in general, with special emphasis on sol-gel-derived materials and nanofibres synthesized by chemical vapour deposition. Application-directed activities concern, in particular, thermal insulations, electrodes in electrochemical devices, IR opacifiers, and materials for gas separation and gas storage. Michael Steinfeldt, a diploma’d engineer, is senior scientist at the Faculty of Production Engineering, University of Bremen, Germany, since 2005. His main focus of research is environmental valuation and methods of technology assessment and life cycle assessment. Current research themes are green and sustainable nanotechnology. After some years as a process engineer in an industrial enterprise he worked as senior researcher and project manager at the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) gGmbH, Berlin, in the field corporate environmental management (1992–2004). Volker Viereck studied physics at the Humboldt University, Berlin, and at the University of Kassel, Germany, from 1997 to 2004. He
