Steffen grew up in Germany and now works in Switzerland. He knows New Zealand well because he worked at the University of Auckland from 2010 to 2012, where he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Timber Design with Prof Pierre Quenneville. Until last year, Steffen was Professor of Timber Engineering at the Bern University of Applied Sciences where he taught structural engineering and timber design. He has over 30 successful research projects and over 100 publications. He is now a Senior Researcher at ETH Zürich, Switzerland, in the team of Prof. Dr. Andrea Frangi, working on a wide range of new developments in timber engineering. Steffen will describe the possible contribution of timber highway bridges to an international decarbonisation strategy for the infrastructure sector, including the feasibility of long-span heavy-duty timber bridges in mountainous countries such as Switzerland and New Zealand.
