Research Groups

Catalytic Process and Materials (CPM)
Within CPM, the aim is to develop heterogenous catalysts based on the understanding of kinetics, mechanisms, structure-performance relationships, as well as the design of catalytic reactors

Sustainable Process Technology (SPT)
The SPT Group focuses on process development, separations, reaction/reactor engineering and industrial chemistry/catalysis 

Mesoscal Chemical Systems (MCS)
MCS research is summarized by three activities: structure materials in 3D down to the nanometer scale, managing fluids at the mesoscale, and engineering microsystems with integrated functionality

PhotoCatalytic Synthesis (PCS)
The research program of PCS is intented for the development of innovative materials and concepts for photo- and electrocatalytic reactions with high efficiency

Inorganic Membranes (IM)
In the IM group reseach encompasses the development of new membrane materials, a better fundamental understanding of transport mechanisms, and the design of membrane processes and membrane reactors

Physics of Complex Fluids (PCF)
Within PCF the research connects fundamental phenomena in static and dynamic wetting, nanofluidics, microfluidic two-phase flow, functional surfaces, chemical reactivity at interfaces to practical relevant applications
