Dr.–Ing. Matthias Kraus studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt. In 2001 he changed to the University of Bochum as researcher, where he received his doctoral degree in 2005 and then worked as chief engineer at the Institute of Steel and Composite Structures. Since 2010 Dr. Kraus has worked at Schürmann – Kindmann and Partners, Dortmund, as chief engineer. He also has adjunct lecturships at the University of Bochum.
