Dr. habil. Rudolf Diesel
I started my career with a qualification as Technical Constructor of Engines,
then studied Engineer of Economics and Techniques, worked with IBM
Germany and later went back to University to study
Animal Behaviour - my genuine interest, obtained a PhD degree in natural sciences and
habilitated in Zoology.
My scientific career started at the Max-Planck-Institut für Verhaltensphysiologie / Behavioural Physiology at Seewiesen (D), later I worked in marine biology at
the Centre National de la Recherché Scientifique, CNRS (F), worked as
teacher at the University of Bielefeld (D) and the University of Canterbury,
Christchurch (NZ).
Over 20 years I conducted field research in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red
Sea, in Panama, the Caribbean, New Zealand, Malaysia, Tasmania and
various other places and published the results of my work in more than
40 scientific articles and books.
Apart of my interests in sciences, I am a dedicated naturalist and started
very early
to document nature with my still and movie camera. In 1999, I
founded ScienceMedia and worked as freelance nature photographer
and film producer. My films have been broadcasted by several German
TV-stations and stock material
has been used e.g. in various BBC nature
documentaries. Photo credits include BBC Wildlife, National
Geographic Magazine and Reader's Digest.
In 2004 my interests turned towards the fascinating field of digital high-speed videography. After testing various cameras, I designed the TyphoonHD4-system
as a mobile and versatile digital high-speed camera
system that meets the high standards and the requirements of nature
documentaries. |
