The Department of Process Engineering is one of the three central research units of the Foundation Institute of Materials Engineering and is headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Lutz Mädler. The main research focus of the department is the production, processing, modeling and characterization of particles in the gas phase. Current topics in research and teaching include reactive and non-reactive spray and layer formation processes (e.g. flame spray pyrolysis, spray compacting, powder production, spray cooling), in combination with process simulation and optimization using multiphase models as well as process and particle characterization by electromagnetic waves. These core competences are reflected in the scientific orientation of the four departments with the following research activities: reactive spray technology, powder measurement technology and particle measurement technology, multiphase flow, spray compacting and metal atomization.
