Wenwen Mao
Dr. rer. nat. (Physics)
Dr. Wenwen Mao has a strong international and technical background, having studied and worked in Germany, China, Japan, Singapore, and Korea. With her training in condense matter physics and high‑performance computing, she is particularly suited for technology‑driven cases involving advanced materials, semiconductor physics, optics, and software‑based innovations.
Dr. Wenwen Mao’s work draws on empathetic, patient, and detail‑oriented communication. To work smoothly across cultures with clients, experts, and colleagues, she also translates complex technical content into clear, practical, and decision‑oriented input for legal strategies.

Legal provisions are like mathematical formulas: they only unfold their full value when combined with a genuine interest in cutting-edge technologies, solid scientific training, and clear communication. Bringing these elements together in real projects and concrete cases shapes my understanding of this role.
