Up to 1998 he also held lecturing positions at Munich, Weihenstephan and Eichstaett universities.
His scientific work regarding ethics focused on economic, environmental and energy technology issues, and has been documented in various publications.

In 1999, Dr Feldhaus joined Siemens AG, in Erlangen, where he became responsible for the Internal Communications department of the Power Generation group. In 2001, he was made head of Group Communications and also represented Power Generation in the Economic Council of Siemens AG.
