Research on the pulse of time
Research at the Chair of Hydrogen and Nuclear Energy Technology includes future-oriented questions in the scientific fields of hydrogen technology, nuclear energy technology, thermohydraulics as well as application of innovative laser technologies.
The results of our projects, among others on hydrogen-based synthesis, laser-assisted surface modification and corrosion resistance of materials in molten salts, provide an important contribution to answering current and future relevant scientific and societal questions of energy supply and security.
Safe and reliable supply of energy
The research foci of our professorship pursue the goal of providing safe, reliable and sustainable useful energy. They are characterized in particular by the use of innovative materials and manufacturing technologies in combination with novel energy conversion processes. A high degree of systemic understanding and plant-specific knowledge ensures the technical safety of even complex plants.
Research complexes of current projects:
Safety and risk analyses of hydrogen-based systems
Development of novel energy conversion technologies for combined use with wind and solar systems
Thermohydraulic investigations for safe removal of decay heat from nuclear reactors and fuel pools
Development of mathematical neutron flux models for nuclear safety analysis.
