In 1870 he became a professor at the forestry academy of Mariabrunn, and from 1873 to 1909, was a professor of plant anatomy and physiology at the University of Vienna, and at the same time (1866 to 1880) had a teaching position of technical commodity science at the Vienna University of Technology. At Vienna he founded the department of plant physiology (1873). During his career, he took part in scientific expeditions to Egypt, India, Java, Sumatra, North America and the Arctic.〔(Biographical sketch ) @ AEIOU Encyclopedia〕 His research included studies on phototropism in plants,〔(The Plant Cell; American Society of Plant Biologists ) Phototropism: Bending towards Enlightenment〕 on the formation of chlorophyll.〔(WorldCat Title ) Die Entstehung des Chlorophylls in der Pflanze〕〔(Scholars in Stone and Bronze ) biography〕 and investigations involving the technological properties of plant raw materials.
