Topics of his chair included: "Fifth-order image error theory, analytical approaches to optical systems, theory and measurements of the transfer function, mathematical methods of automatic correction, partially coherent imaging and modeling of the photolithographic process".[2]
Among other things, Heinz Haferkorn headed the Optics Association of the Physical Society of the GDR (1973-1990), was a member of editorial boards of various specialist journals and the National Optics Commission.
