Univ. Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. techn. Patrick Huber was appointed University Professor for Reinforced Concrete and Solid Construction at the Vienna University of Technology with effect from September 1, 2024. He is assigned to the Institute of Load-bearing Structures (E212) at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at TU Wien.

Patrick Huber comes from Lienz in East Tyrol. After graduating with honors in civil engineering from TU Wien, he received his doctorate with distinction in 2016 with a dissertation on the topic of “Assessment of the shear load-bearing capacity of existing reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete bridges, opens an external URL in a new window”. He then worked as a project manager in bridge construction at Fritsch Chiari & Partner ZT GmbH in Vienna, but remained associated with TU Wien and obtained his venia docendi for the subject Structural Engineering in 2022 with a habilitation thesis on “Assessment and upgrading of the load-bearing capacity of existing concrete structures, opens an external URL in a new window”. Parallel to his work at Fritsch Chiari & Partner ZT GmbH, he was first a lecturer and since 2023 a full-time lecturer at the FH Campus Wien.

Patrick Huber's scientific home is now the research area of reinforced concrete and solid construction (E212-02) at the aforementioned institute, which he also heads. His research focuses on the digital planning and fabrication of concrete components, the realistic description of the component behavior of newly developed and existing concrete components (including fatigue, load-bearing behavior, creep and shrinkage) and the strengthening of existing structures.
