Electric Mobility Basics of a Future Technology

Professor Dr.-Ing. Achim Kampker has been a university professor in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University since April 2009. From 2009 to 2013, he headed the Chair of Production Management at the Machine Tool Laboratory (WZL) there. In 2014, he founded the Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM) at RWTH, which he has headed ever since. Achim Kampker is co-inventor of the “StreetScooter” electric vehicle and is involved in numerous commitments and initiatives in the fields of battery production, electromobility and sustainability. 

Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Wirt.-Ing. Heiner Hans Heimes has been Managing Senior Engineer of the Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM) at RWTH Aachen University since 2019 and, together with Professor Achim Kampker, is responsible for the strategic and operational management of the chair. From 2010 to 2014, Heiner Heimes was a research associate at the Machine Tool Laboratory (WZL) at RWTH Aachen University and headed the Electromobility Laboratory (eLab) at RWTH Aachen University from 2015 to 2019. Dr. Heiner Heimes' field of research includes the production technology of lithium-ion batteries, on which he has developed a lecture at RWTH Aachen University.
