Udo Dietrich studied physics at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and graduated with a focus on theoretical optics. Thereafter he worked on architectural building physics, in various engineering offices and universities. In 1995, he took up a professorship at the University of Applied Sciences (HAW) in Hamburg – since 2006 HafenCity University (HCU) Hamburg - in the areas of Building Physics, Energy-Optimised Building and Passive Air Conditioning. He has developed computer software for building energy simulation and has a particular interest in the comfort of building occupants.
Prof. Dietrich is teaching in the departments architecture and REAP.
Information about courses, projects and thesis can be found under Bachelor Architecture , Master Architecture and Master REAP.
