He is a pioneer in the development of role-play simulations for engineering students, and it is for this approach that he has been recognised within the University of Adelaide, as well as nationally and internationally. Holger is an inspirational example of a professional engineer, one who has a command of the literature, generates original research and uses this scholarly basis to excite students. Holger is passionate about sharing ideas of sustainable management of natural resources and their interface with human infrastructure resources with his students."
