Dresden University of Technology (TUD)

Location: Dresden, Saxony, Germany
Expertise: Chemical process engineering, sustainable processes, reaction engineering, process intensification, circular economy

The TUD Dresden University of Technology (TUD) is one of the largest technical universities in Germany and is one of the eleven Universities of Excellence. With over 30,000 students and around 8,500 employees, including around 600 professors, TUD offers a wide range of study and research opportunities. The university is part of the DRESDEN-concept alliance, which enables close cooperation with leading research institutes such as the Fraunhofer, Max Planck, Helmholtz and Leibniz Institutes.

The TUD assumes the role of coordinator in the InnoLAB project. The project is managed by the Chair of Chemical Process Engineering, which focuses on the functionalization of new materials, process intensification and the integration of sustainable technologies. Research activities include the optimization of catalysts and reactive surfaces, hydrodynamic cavitation, supercritical syntheses and chemical recycling.

The team:

• Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Schubert is Chair of Chemical Process Engineering and an expert in multiphase reactions and reaction engineering. He has published over 150 scientific papers and is a former ERC grantee. He is involved in numerous international cooperation projects, including with TU Eindhoven, the Polish Academy of Sciences and IIT Delhi. He is also PI in the Horizon MSCA project CaviPRO.

• Dr.-Ing. Sara Marchini is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Chemical Process Engineering and responsible for the didactic conception in the InnoLAB project. Her research focuses on multiphase flows. She is a member of the Board of the Early Career Section of EFCE and of the Education Working Group of EYE (European Young Engineers). Dr. Marchini is also a freelance lecturer for reactor modeling and holds the Saxon University Didactics Certificate Module 1.
