Bioprocess Engineering (BPE)

Prof. em. Dr.-Ing. Udo Reichl
Bioprocess engineering uses the capabilities of microorganisms to produce a large variety of biological products for medical, industrial and agricultural applications.

Computational Methods in Systems and Control Theory (CSC)

Prof. Dr. Peter Benner

We develop and analyze mathematical algorithms and methods for computer based optimization and control of physical-technical processes.

Materials Systems Engineering (MSE)

Prof. Dr. Sohini Kar-Narayan
Our group investigates the central question of how the structure and properties of novel material systems are related and how these can be specifically designed to realise certain functionalities in applications in energy technology, sensor technology, actuator technology and biomedicine.

Process Systems Engineering (PSE)

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kai Sundmacher

The research activities of the group are focused on the analysis and design of efficient process systems for the production of valuable products (chemicals or energy) from raw materials.
