About the Speaker:

Dr. Rudolf Riesen - Born 1948 in Sumiswald, Switzerland. Dr. Riesen studied chemical engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Zurich (ETH) and completed his Ph.D. at the same University on the topic “characterization of a stirrer system for the chemical industry”. Dr. Riesen started his employment with Mettler-Toledo AG in Switzerland in 1978 as application chemist. Throughout his career with METTLER TOLEDO, Dr Riesen has worked in R&D to develop the microprocessor controlled thermal analysis system TA3000 including new DSC, TMA and TGA cells. In addition, he has provided worldwide application support for TA3000 and RC1 and managed the market support group for thermal analysis and rheology. Most recently and in his current position, Dr. Riesen is the Senior Applications Specialist for thermal analysis at METTLER TOLEDO. Number of publications: 26. Dr. Riesen is a member of the following professional associations: ICTAC (since 1990) , NATAS (since 1992), STK (since 1981); the Board of STK (Swiss Society of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry) (since 1992)
