Today the CRC SMART Reactors hosted an online workshop for all of the CRC researcher with Dr. Dorothea Iglezakis from University of Stuttgart and NFDI4Ing, focusing on metadata and ontologies.

On November 19, 2024 our CRC partner Prof. Horn gave a talk on "Measuring Adsorbate Profiles in Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactors by Iso-Potential Operando DRIFTS".

Two of our CRC team members, Vivien Jesenofsky and Sri Sannihita Chavali from the Institute of Technical Microbiology at TUHH attended the 16th Advanced Biofilm Course at the University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet), hosted by Prof. Michael Kühl in Helsingør.

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Daniele Marchisio, an international leading expert in multiscale computational methods for polydisperse particulate and multiphase flows from the Politecnico di Torino (Italy) at our CRC in Hamburg.

Time to come together and discuss the exciting results and challenges along the way!

PhD candidate Jana Ihrens and Professor Thorsten A. Kern from the Institute for Mechatronics in Mechanics have worked together with PhD candidate Kathrin Eckert and Professor Irina Smirnova from the Institute for Thermal Separation Processes at the Hamburg University of Technology on structuring of electrorheological fluids in polymer matrices for miniature actuators.

PhD candidate Christian Weiland and Professor Michael Schlüter from the Institute of Multiphase Flows Flows at the Hamburg University of Technology together with Professor Alexandra von Kameke from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Production Management at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences have presented their latest results on trajectory-based breakup modelling for dense bubbly flows.

At a CRC seminar at TUHH, Professor Freund and Dr.-Ing. Börnhorst gave inspiring talks on "Intelligent Design of Structured Catalysts for Flexible, Safe and Efficient Reactor Operation" and "Multiphase Reactors in Emission Control", introducing the audience to intelligent structures that could be used for SMART reactors.

During the congress under the motto "Face Climate Change", different aspects of climate change, innovative solutions and adaptation strategies will be presented and discussed.

Dr. Miriam Edel from the Institute of Technical Microbiology at TUHH have worked together with Dr. Johannes Eberhard Reiner from Novo Nordisk Foundation CO₂ Research Center (CORC) and Dr. Benjamin Korth from Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) on oxic microbial electrosynthesis as an potential alternative for biomass production.
