Pupils extract their own orange oil

Bachelor project combines technology and natural products

The working group is starting the new year with a happy event: Maria has passed the colloquium for her dissertation and will soon be awarded the title of Dr.-Ing.

Every year, Nature Scientific Reports publishes the top 100 most downloaded papers. Simon reached 15th place in the physics category with his publication "Molecular diameters of rarefied gases". We congratulate him on this success, which clearly demonstrates the relevance of his research. If you…

After several years of scientific work, Jasper took dielectrophoretic seperators to a new level within the priority program SPP 2045 founded by the DFG.

Jasper can now also join the ranks of the graduates, having defended his dissertation with an extremely good presentation. This was about dielectrophoretic particle separation.

Right at the beginning of the year, Harm successfully defended his dissertation in the field of gas-phase MRI in catalytic reactors.

Philip successfully defended his PhD thesis on NMR measurements of reactive bubble flows on 27.11.2023. The thesis was awarded the highest grade summa cum laude.

With a great presentation and a convincing thesis, Laura was able to successfully complete her doctorate about seperating particles in inhomogenous electric fields. Congratulations on this fantastic achievement.

We are excited to share that Ph.D. candidate Reza Fayaz presented a poster of his latest findings at the 74th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) in Lyon, France.

With an exciting presentation Simon defends his PhD thesis about transport of rarefied gases. The whole CVT working group congratulates Simon with all its heart for this great achievement.

Research engineers from Bosch Research in Renningen visited the University of Bremen for a cooperation project between the Chemical Process Engieneering group (CVT) and the Energy Storage and Energy Conversion Systems group (ESECS).

On 12.07.2023 from 16:00 - 21:00 the VT Day will take place at FZB 0240 and FZ Halle. Students and interested people can get into conversation with lecturers, scientists and alumni while enjoying grilled food and cold drinks.

The CVT presented an electrolyzer at the Open Campus 2023 event and showed how current technologies are integrated into the course of studies

The weekly magazine FORUM interviewed Ingmar on the project REDUCTO and included the interview into an article on carbon capture and utilization.

The working group received a visit from two groups of students from high schools in Lower Saxony. Ingmar gave the students an insight into the environmental research of the working group by means of small experiments and exhibits.

Finally, after 3 years the CVT group could enjoy a Grünkohltour together.

Designing, building, programming and illuminating a key technology of the energy transition - this is what students learn in the current application project "Efficiency of a water electrolyzer".

Our project Reducto is about bio-electrochemical carbon dioxide removal. Renewable energy is used to power biological carbon dioxide reduction.

The CVT group celebrates the end of a successful year together in a restaurant. In addition to the current employees, some alumni were also present to look back on an exciting and successful year together over good food.

At this years Annual Meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Kevin presented a poster at the Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) poster session and was awarded 3rd place in the poster price.

Alexander produced such an impressive master’s thesis on Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) during his time as a masters student in our group that he has now been awarded the Bremen Engineering Prize 2022 by the Bremen chapter of the Association of German Engineers (VDI).

From 26.09 to 29.09 the cvt group came together in Holzminden for a group seminar. In addition to exciting work sessions, there was enough time for table tennis, hiking and get togethers in the evenings.

Three PhD candidates from our working group attended at the 9th World congress on particle technology (WCPT9) Madrid.

At this years EUROCORR in Berlin Ingmar was awarded with the EFC Poster Price for the best poster presentation and discussion.

In numerous of studies, dielectrophoresis (DEP) has proven that its high selectivity and versatility make it a promising separation technique in a variety of fields.

Simon Kunze presented his work on rarified gas flows on the 32nd international Symposium on Rarified Gas Dynamics in Seoul. A summary of his work and furhter infos can be found here:

Dr.-Ing. Georg Pesch follows a call from University College Dublin to an assistant professorship as of July 1, 2022.

Die Doktorarbeit von Georg Pesch wurde mit dem Campus Preis der Universität Bremen ausgzeichnet

Erstmals hat die Universität Bremen herausragende Promotionsbetreuungen ausgezeichnet. Als besondere Anerkennung erhielt Jorg Thöming einen zweiten Platz.

In the group of Dr. Pouyan Boukany at the Chemical Engineering Department of the Delft University of Technology, Georg researches the possibility to separate cancer cells from healthy PBMC using dielectrophoretical filtration.

Georg erhält für seine Doktorarbeit "On the dielectrophoretic particle retention in porous media" den Bremer Studienpreis 2018.

Georgs und Maltes Scientific Reports Paper wurde mit einer MAPEX Postkarte umgesetzt.

Ingmar gave a presentation on microstructure influence on corrosion behavior of stainless stell

Our group took a seminar trip to the secluded (not so much) island of Neuwerk.

Ingmar war im Rahmen des SFB 1232 "Farbige Zustände" bei Explore Science in Bremen.

Georg (invited) and Malte gave talks at the DEP 2018 conference from 23.-25. of July at the University of Surrey in Guildford (UK).

Our publciation on the separation of bio particles in porous media in cooperation with Pouyan Boukany's group (at TU Delft) was published in Scientific Reports!

Im Juni 2018 wurde das Fachgebiet Verfahrenstechnik der Wertstoffrückgewinnung in Chemische Verfahrenstechnik umbenannt.
