Portrait of Professor Majschak
Prof. Jens-Peter Majschak has held the Chair of Processing Machines and Processing Technology since 2004. Since 2004, he has also headed the Fraunhofer IVV branch for Processing Machines and Packaging Technology (AVV) Dresden. The Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig accepted him as a full member in 2013. He was born in Pirna.
Without (resource-) efficient processing machines and packaging technology ... the basic need for food, drink or medical care could not be met globally, for example, far more than the current 30% of all food produced worldwide would spoil on its way from the field to the plate.
Being a professor... includes the privilege of being able to observe and accompany young people in one of the three most exciting phases of personal development, helping them to enter an exciting professional life.
Students ... should be curious, ready to take on challenges, willing to develop and always remain critical of the word "natural".
In the future ... engineers will play a key role, especially in mechanical engineering, when it comes to securing and shaping the global and local future.
If I could study again ... the combination of engineering science, art and culture would be a highly attractive field of tension for me with numerous facets worth studying.
Excellence ... is a prerequisite for remaining visible in the long term and is obviously necessary in order to be able to shape the future.
