PhD Position / Research Assistent (f/m/d)
Development and characterization of a reaction device for NMR measurements under harsh process conditions

Organizational unit

Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT)

Job description

• Simulation, modelling, design and manufacturing of miniaturized reaction modules (mixers, reactors, heat exchangers). Manufacturing technique is 3D ceramic printing, preferably.
• Test and characterization of the modules with regard to target temperature and pressure, mixing quality, reaction performance as well as application in standardized high-field NMR systems. Transfer to benchtop NMR system could be a next step.
• Miniaturization of the already developed devices, application with new and advanced mini- / micro NMR systems, combination with other systems within the CRC program.
• Supervision of bachelor / master students. Support in teaching for several lectures for microscale process engineering.
• Publication of research results in peer-reviewed journals, conferences and workshops.
