Biography
Thomas Gries, born in Cologne, Germany, in 1964, studied at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany. He holds a diploma degree in mechanical engineering and economics and a doctorate in mechanical engineering.
From 1995 to 2001, he worked at Lurgi Zimmer AG, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, at the Department of Technologies for Fibres&Textiles in leading positions.
From 2001 onwards, he is Director of the Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University. The honoris causa Professorship of Lomonossow University, Moscow, is the most distinguished scientific award of Russia given for his achievement of 3D-tailored composite reinforcements. 2019 he was Distinguished Visiting Researcher at Seoul National University dedicated to 4D-Textiles.
The ITA was established in 1934 and is one of the world’s leading research establishments. Its fields of research consist in man-made fibre technology, staple fibre processing, fabric production, technical textiles & composites, medical textiles & biomaterials as well as in smart textiles & joining technologies.
Today Thomas Gries is the though-leader in the 3D&4D-textiles. He made ITA the leading institution in digitalization and biotransformation of the textile sector.
