Professorship for Modeling of Thermochemical Conversion Processes

Development of new, sustainable technologies for the chemical industry and metallurgy, computer-aided optimization of technical processes or model-based evaluation of experiments - in each of these areas, modeling is an indispensable tool to accelerate development and work steps significantly and for testing new concepts virtually on the computer. The team of the professorship MTK at the Institute of Energy Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering develops the necessary models and uses them for the calculation, testing and optimization of a wide variety of reactors and syntheses. The R&D activities cover the entire range of scales from chemically reacting single particles to the overall reactor and extend from fundamental research to technology development together with our partners from industry and business. The training of our students in the fundamentals of modeling as well as in the practical application of computational models and the involvement of students in current research projects are particularly close to our hearts.
