About us

We are a highly motivated group of researchers with backgrounds in chemistry and chemical engineering. Our research areas cover a wide range of important issues in pharmaceutical engineering, especially in the field  of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis and processing. Our cooperation partners are acknowledged researchers as well as international and national companies. In particular, we concentrate on the following topics:

• Development of  continuous processes for API synthesis and downstream processes
• Design and manufacturing of 3D printed reactors, crystallizers and sensor equipment
• Application of process automation and machine learning methods for the optimization of chemical process steps
• Immobilization of organometallic and bio-catalysts on different solid supports
• Implementation of the immobilized catalysts in continuous reaction systems
• Investigation of  heterogeneous reactions and metal leaching
• Design of multistep chemo- and biocatalytic processes involving light-driven biotransformations
• Continuous flow calorimetry
• Study of reaction mechanisms and kinetics
• Investigation of fundamental, process related crystallization behavior
• Continuous API crystallization process development
• Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

The results and acquired knowledge of our projects are a perfect source for novel challenges. So please feel free to contact us!
