For the Institute of at Hamburg University of Technology for October 1st 2023 we are looking for a:
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (M/F/d) / WISSENSCHAFTLICHER MITARBEITER (m/w/d)

full time and limited until June 30th 2027. The remuneration is in accordance with

in the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) "".

A major key to success in facing climate change and creating more resilient supply chains is the transformation of feedstocks from fossil resources to renewable raw materials.

Led by the Hamburg University of Technology, the CRC 1615 is developing processes and reactors that respond flexibly to the fluctuating properties of renewable raw materials, thus enabling self-adapting, more resilient process engineering

Within the projects B04 "Tailored transport processes in multiphase reactors", transport processes are investigated in the vicinity of nanostructured surfaces, which are an essential component of SMART reactors.

Test microreactors with defined but manipulable flow characteristics are built to determine the influence of partially functionalized and switchable interfaces on mass transport processes.

These are analysed using microscopic flow measurements with fluorescent particles and concentration imaging with pH-sensitive dyes. Phenomenological models of the transport processes are derived by correlating Lagrangian analysis with concentration fields. The results enable the optimisation of the positioning and design of nanostructured interfaces in SMART reactors.

The results will be applied in project C01 "Integration of components into adaptive geometries", for self-adaptive structures that control reactions based on the reactor conditions.

In the beginning, suitable unit cells and materials for selected reactions are investigated, so that structures for high heat
- and mass transport can be designed. With this, self-adapting, additive manufactured (AM) structures with temperature-controlled actuators, as well as self-adapting AM structures with pH-controlled actuators will be investigated. Furthermore, the integration of components for in situ detection & self-adjustment into AM structures is part of the research activities. The design and optimization is assisted by Computational Fluid Dynamics.
