Catalysis and Reaction Engineering

To make chemical reactions more efficient and sustainable, we develop a variety of catalysts, novel reactor concepts and intensified processes.

Electrochemical Engineering
A close-up of many colourful batteries.

Electrochemical Engineering

We are engineering effective power sources such as batteries, fuel cells and supercapacitors, as well as using electricity to drive chemical reactions, such as hydrogen and chlorine production.

Molecular and Engineering Thermodynamics
Abstract colourful spheres with light refractions.

Molecular and Engineering Thermodynamics

We use theory, simulations, and experiments to unravel the driving forces of thermodynamic processes and lay the foundations of tomorrow's transformative technologies.

Multiphase Systems
