He was a full professor at the Université de Fribourg (1962–1965), and then at the Université de Genève (1966–1993). He introduced the Frölicher spectral sequence and the Frölicher–Nijenhuis bracket and Frölicher spaces and Frölicher groups.

He received his Ph.D. from ETH Zurich in 1954, with thesis Zur Differentialgeometrie der komplexe Strukturen written under the direction of Beno Eckmann and Heinz Hopf.
