Summary
Dr. Stadler obtained his doctorate in engineering from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany (2007). From 2009 to 2014 he was a professor at Chonbuk National University, South Korea and from 2014 to 2024 distinguished professor at Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, China. He is working on rheology, mainly focusing on structure-property relationships in various systems, ranging from polyolefins and ionomers to hydrogels and supramolecular assemblies as well as special nanoparticles for adsorption, gas sensing, and photocatalysis.
