The development of new, sustainable technologies for the chemical industry or metallurgy, the computer-aided optimization of technical processes or the model-based evaluation of experiments - in each of these areas, modelling is an indispensable tool for significantly accelerating development and work steps and for testing new concepts on the computer, i.e. virtually. 

The team at the MTK professorship at the Institute of Energy Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering develops the necessary models and uses them to calculate, test and optimize a wide range of reactors and syntheses. The R&D activities cover the entire scale range from chemically reacting individual particles to the overall reactor and extend from basic research to technology development together with our partners from industry and business.

The courses offered by the MTK professorship cover both the fundamentals of modeling chemically reactive flows and the practical application of computational models. Based on current research questions from chemistry and metallurgy, model approaches, calculation methods and strategies for process optimization are discussed and tested in accompanying seminars.
