Dietmar Hertsen

Patent attorney, NLO

As a chemical engineer Dietmar Hertsen knows what it is like to work on a difficult problem, struggling at first and then that wonderful feeling when you suddenly find the solution. Mr Hertsen joined NLO’s Ghent office in early 2018. Having completed a PhD in quantum chemistry at the University of Ghent, he is used to thinking about chemical reactions in a highly theoretical manner. A degree in gene technology means that he feels at home in the world of molecular biology. Mr Hertsen also enjoys public speaking and he is fascinated by how language and science overlap and interact. By writing and investigating patents, he can now combine all three of these passions in his work.
