Hendrik Heinz

University of Colorado-Boulder

USA

Hendrik Heinz is a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he bridges chemical, biological, and materials engineering. He explores how atoms build the world—simulating biomaterials and nanomaterials from the tiniest scales to the microscopic, with the help of advanced data science. As leader of the Interface force field project, he develops precise models for materials from minerals and alloys to proteins and polymers. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the International Association of Advanced Materials, he has earned honors from NSF, NASA, and global societies, and shared his expertise as a visiting professor in Europe and Japan.

He graduated from the University of Technology Graz, Austria, with a Dipl-Ing degree (BS and MS) in Chemical Engineering and received his PhD in flexible bilayer photovoltaic cells from the University of Sheffield, UK. Prof. Daoud’s current research is mainly focused on the areas of energy harvesting and smart wearable technologies. His group is developing approaches for harvesting free or waste energy, such as light and kinetic energies. Being intermittent sources, it is equally important to find storage solutions for this form of energy. Therefore, the group is interested in the modelling and design of compatible batteries. He has received international renown and several awards for his pioneering research on wearable solar and kinetic energy harvesting technologies. His research has featured in Nature (2004) and Science (2008) and broadcasted through interviews by major international media, such as Reuters (2014), BBC (2015) SCMP (2017), Physics World (2021) and PV Magazine (2022). He has been invited to present Plenary and Keynote lectures at international conferences and is currently serving as the Chief Editor of Wearable Electronics, Frontiers in Electronics and Editorial/Advisory Board of Journal of Power Sources Advances and Industrial Chemistry & Materials.
