From the USA to our campus in Pinkafeld

In our 20th podcast episode, we invited Gregory
Rorrer, U.S. guest lecturer in our Department of Energy
& Environment, to stand in front of our microphone.


He has professional expertise that stretches all the way to the
White House and is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the
School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at
Oregon State University. And now FH Burgenland
will also have a place on his CV. For one semester, the
researcher and respected lecturer Gregory
Rorrer supported us in teaching and research in
the Department of Energy & Environment at the
Pinkafeld Campus.


From his favorite wine bar in Pinkafeld, called
Vino en Paso, to the hand-painted turkey
our students gave the U.S. lecturer for Thanksgiving: In this
interview, Gregory 


provides insights into his experience as an international
guest lecturer in the very depth of Burgenland, 

explains why Austrians should be willing to take more risks
in life

and discusses the differences between American and Austrian
students.



His personal recommendation to all future Fulbright guest
lecturers: „If you teach here at the Pinkafeld campus, live in
Pinkafeld as well. Because you will have a very special
experience compared to living in a big city like Vienna.“ And if
you as a student of the FH Burgenland are interested in studying
in the USA, please contact our International Office for more
information.
