Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Markus Oeser studied Civil Engineering at the TU Dresden with a focus on structural engineering. In 2004, he completed his doctorate in Dresden with the topic "Numerical simulation of the non-linear behavior of multi-layered flexible transport pathways". This was followed in 2010 by his habilitation with the topic "Nonlinear numerical simulation models for traffic pathways with regard to mechanical, thermal and hydraulic effects“. In 2006, Markus Oeser was a Research Member of the Technical University of Delft University, the Netherlands, and from 2007 to 2011 he was a University Lecturer at the Institute of Geotechnics, Road Construction and Traffic Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia. In 2011, he became Head of the Chair of Highway Engineering and Director of the Institute of Highway Engineering, and in 2016, Dean at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH). He took up a visiting professorship at the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), in Harbin, Heilongjang, China in 2015, which ended as per contract in 2022. In 2021, he was appointed to the professorship of Pavement Engineering and Construction, TU Dresden. He has been President of the Federal Highway Research Institute since November 2021.
