Education and Work experience

Alexander Hauf studied Mechanical Engineering / Materials Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Stuttgart. He completed his master thesis “Development of a laser beam welding concept for materials with high carbon content by controlled heat input” in 2017 in collaboration with the Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW) at the University of Stuttgart and the Daimler AG in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim.

Subsequently, he worked as a process developer and later as a team and project leader in the field of laser technologies automotive. He supervised the development of innovative laser welding, laser remelting and laser heat treatment processes for the production of combustion engines as well as electric motors, powertrains and high voltage batteries.

Since 2020 he has been undergoing training in the field of intellectual property and is completing a part-time law degree.
