In 2004 he was named Research Director and in 2010 Vice President Polymer Reaction Engineering
In 2012 Hungenberg received a Honorary Professorship at the University of Paderborn.
Hungenberg has led diverse product and process developments ranging from new PVC modifiers, polyolefin processes, superabsorbent polymers, emulsion polymers, ABS etc. His main research emphasis is polymer reaction engineering and modeling and simulation of polymer processes. He is (co-)author of about 100 scientific articles and patents.
He is member of the Editorial Board of several international journals and acted as member / chairman of the Scientific Committees of various conferences. He is engaged in the IUPAC Working Party “Modeling of Kinetics and Processes of Polymerization“, the Working Party “Polymer Reaction Engineering” of EFCE and Deputy Chairman of the Dechema Technical Committee “Polyreaktionen“, and is lecturer in the Dechema training course “Polymerisationstechnik”.
Since 2013 he has retired.
