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 PhD, 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.
