We’re proud to share that our colleague Robert Kräuter recently presented at the prestigious CHoPS Conference, with his talk titled "The Role of Machine Learning for Intelligent Digital Twins of Fluidized Beds". This work, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer IFF and PERGANDE Group, showcases cutting-edge research in the field.

The conference, chaired by Jin Ooi, brought together leading experts, and Robert’s contribution stood out - he was awarded 2nd place in the IChemE PTSIG Early Career Researcher of the Year Award! Congratulations to Robert for this outstanding achievement, and a big thank you to Pablo García-Triñanes and Colin Hare for presenting the award. We’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation in the years to come!

Abdullah Sadeq gave an impressive lecture on "On the Mechanical Stability of Biomass Pellets with Different Initial Densities after Fluidized Bed Pyrolysis", which was subsequently awarded the "Best Paper" at the 14th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds (CFB 14) in Taiyuan, China. Congratulations on that!
