Eckehard Müller (Ph.D.) from the Bochum Fachhochschule agreed to become a Scientific Adviser for MFN!

For an international magazine, a global networking to industries, universities and exhibitions is of crucial importance. How else could a publication always write about the latest technologies, developments and events, if  such important sources of input were not be available. However, besides the fact that a good networking is essential for a successful magazine, it is also very rewarding. During its 4 years of publication the MFN team has met so many interesting personalities, who really made a difference in their field. And the encouragement, which was received from various professionals, was a great motivation to  MFN.
Therefore we are especially pleased that Eckehard Müller (P.h.D.) of the Bochum Fachhochschule accepted our offer to become a Scientific Adviser for MFN. He will have his first official appearance during the coming Shot Peening Workshop & Trade Show in Dusseldorf this May. Eckehard Müller will be MFN's key note speaker during the guest speaker day. On behalf of the whole MFN organization, Eckehard is most welcome to the team!
