Gregor Wollmann came to The University of Texas at Austin in 1986 on a Fulbright scholarship immediately after earning his Diplom-Ingenieur degree at the Vienna University of Technology in Austria. His initial intention to stay for one year expanded to six, gaining him a master’s degree, a Ph.D., and a wife – fellow distinguished CAEE alumna Carin Roberts-Wollmann – along the way. In his professional career, Gregor is engaged in the design and construction of long-span and complex bridge structures, ranging from post-tensioned concrete to arch, suspension, and cable-stayed bridges. Most notably, with the Blennerhassett Island Bridge opened in 2008, his portfolio includes one of the first network-tied arch bridges ever built in the United States, with at the time a world record-setting span length to boot.
