Endowed Chairs
You want to support a self chosen field of science? You want to give this science extra ressources and help to better the qualification for the students?
Exploit new fields of research in cooperation with the University of Bremen and help to establish new endowed chais.
The Chair can be named after you, if you want to.

Prof. Dr. Ralf Bachmayer, Marine Environmental Technology / Deep Sea Engineering
Donor: Werner Siemens Foundation
Faculty 05 / Geosciences
Period: since 07/2017Professor Ralf Bachmayer took up the newly established Werner Siemens Foundation Professorship at MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen on 1 July 2017. The professorship in the Department of Geosciences focusses on marine environmental technologies and deep-sea engineering. The professorship is the basis for an innovation centre that will develop technologies for observing and investigating the deep-sea environment. Bachmayer studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Karlsruhe. He wrote his diploma thesis at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (USA) and completed his doctorate at Johns Hopkins University (USA). Further stations were Princeton University (USA), the National Research Council Canada and most recently the Memorial University of Newfoundland. As Associate Professor, he was the founder and Director of the Autonomous Ocean Systems Laboratory. Most recently, he worked on a system for the autonomous measurement of icebergs using coordinated robots both above and below water. At the University of Bremen, Bachmayer is continuing his research into unmanned marine systems and their networking, particularly with regard to the deep sea.
Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Hehemann, Carbon storage & glycobiochemistry

Prof Dr Jan-Hendrik Hehemann is researching the role of algal polysaccharides for marine carbon storage. His previous research group "Marine Glycobiology" was located as a bridge group at MARUM and at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen. Building on their research, the new bridging department for Carbon Storage & Glycobiochemistry is now being established at Faculty 2 (Biology/Chemistry) of the University of Bremen, MARUM and the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology. His work is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with a Heisenberg Professorship.
After studying biochemistry in Hamburg, Jan-Hendrik Hehemann completed his doctorate at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris and the Station Biologique de Roscoff (France). He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Victoria, British Columbia (Canada) and subsequently at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA)
before joining the University of Bremen/MARUM and the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in 2015.
With the Heisenberg Professorship, the German Research Foundation (DFG) supports scientists who have demonstrated
scientists who stand out due to their excellent research and extraordinary
outstanding achievements and enables them to pursue their research specialisms and
and to establish their own research groups. His research was recognised in 2022 by the
European Research Council as pioneering and honoured with an ERC Consolidator Award.
award.
