Born in 1952, he studied Materials Science and Technology in the Department of Chemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and graduated in 1976. After studies of pedagogy and didactic (1977) he completed his PhD thesis at ETH Zurich in 1983. He was project leader of numerous research projects in the field of corrosion. His main research at ETH Zurich were durability of reinforced concrete structures, electrochemical methods for NDT assessment and novel methods of corrosion protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Publications:<\/strong> Bernhard Elsener published more than 300 scientific papers, a list can be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/iris.unica.it\/simple-search?query=Bernhard+Elsener\">data bank of University Cagliari.<\/a> In the last years a new  research field, hydrogen permeation barriers, attracted much interest: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>R.
