External Expert to EZT Forensics Inc., USA
Dr. Ulrich Hohmann is a mechanical and process engineering expert specializing in failure analysis for chemical, petrochemical, and power generation systems. With a doctorate in macro kinetics of heterogeneous systems from the Technical University of Munich, he began his career at the Allianz Center for Technology (AZT) in 1991. Today, he is part of the Expert Centre for Technology and EZT Forensics, where he consults on complex engineering cases across high-temperature corrosion, ceramic material degradation, and bioenergy plant reliability.
His technical evaluations have supported operators, insurers, and engineering teams in identifying causes of damage in complex industrial systems. Dr. Hohmann is also a published authority with decades of contributions to industry knowledge in materials science, boiler and incineration systems, and corrosion engineering.
