The Institute of Chemical Process Engineering headed by Prof. U. Nieken is part of the process engineering chairs of the Faculty of Energy, Process and Bioengineering at the University of Stuttgart. The main areas of research are: - Reaction engineering (heterogeneous catalysis, polymer reaction engineering, high temperature reaction engineering, ...). - Coarse-graining methods (mathematical homogenization, SDPD, ...) - Multiphase flows in porous media (SPH, phase-field methods, ...) - Nano-particle technology (synthesis, characterization, ...) - Adsorption technology (process simulation, experimental investigation, material design, ...) - Membrane and polymer technology (polymer membranes, PEMFC membranes, ion exchangers, ... ) - and many more.
