Gerhard Heide Prof. Dr. rer. nat. read crystallography at the University of Leipzig and gained his degree with a thesis on the “Charakterisierung von Glasuren und Fritten unter Berücksichtigung ihrer Wechselwirkung”. In 1996, he received his doctorate from the TU Clausthal. Subsequently, he became scientific assistant to the Chair of Glass and Glass Technology at the Institut für Nichtmetallische Werkstoffe. In 2002, he completed his habilitation with a thesis “Institut für Nichtmetallische Werkstoffe”. Since 2005, he has been professor for general and applied mineralogy at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg as well as, since 2006, director of its geoscientific collections.

Since his undergraduate studies, Prof. Dr. Gerhard Heide has been familiar with glass, glazes and ceramics. The subject of his thesis in 1989 was the investigation of the interaction of ceramic pigments with glazes. After joining Prof. Frischat’s working group “Glass” in 1996, his habilitation “Zur Systematik nichtkristalliner Materialien” (On the systematics of non-crystalline materials) was completed in 2002. In addition to flat and tubular glass and glass fibres, he also researched natural and historical glass and glazes, an interest he has intensified since being appointed as professor in 2005.
