TUM host Professor Peter Annighöfer:
„Our work in forest management and agroforestry revealed numerous areas of overlap. Currently we are working on a proposal for mahogany establishment. I particularly value Professor Onyekwelu’s expertise in tropical tree species and his approachable, sincere manner in working with students.”
TUM Ambassador Professor Jonathan Onyekwelu:
„My time at TUM is filled with sweet memories. It began as a doctoral candidate at the Chair of Silviculture and Forest Managment, where kind and helpful colleagues supported me – a camaraderie that endures to this day. The mentorship of Professor Reinhard Mosandl and Dr. Bernd Stimm, along with my experiences as a DAAD and Alexander von Humboldt scholar and later as a guest professor at TUM, were milestones that deeply influenced my professional journey.”
