Marcus Giglmaier studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich from 2003 to 2008 and completed his doctorate at the Chair of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics between 2009 and 2013. During his doctorate, he worked on a new process for nanoparticle production and developed new modeling approaches for calculating nanoparticle growth.

From 2013 to 2015, he worked at the Munich School of Engineering (MSE) at the Technical University of Munich and was involved in the conceptual design of the "Master of Engineering Science" degree program, among other things. At the same time, he planned and coordinated the construction and commissioning of a supersonic wind tunnel during his post-doctorate at the Chair of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics.

Since 2015, he has headed a research group there that deals with experimental and numerical investigations in the field of supersonic flows, cavitation phenomena, atomization of liquids, reactive flows, condensation effects and particle growth.

Marcus Giglmaier has been part of Oerlikon AM GmbH in Feldkirchen since mid-2018 and is jointly responsible for setting up the Additive Manufacturing Institute. The institute promotes current and future basic research in the field of metal additive manufacturing along the entire value chain and is to be operated jointly by the Technical University of Munich and Oerlikon AM GmbH. As part of his activities, Mr. Giglmaier will ensure networking with national and international research institutions as well as with Oerlikon Group Research.
