I undertook an internship at UCL Australia, Adelaide, working on an optimization model (MINLP) for CO2 utilization using GAMS under consideration of different carbon based product pathways. Optimization of profit and energy efficiency, Pinch analysis

In this role I worked on the project ‘ESF-BioRedKat’, which dealt with a study of well promising alumina foam catalysts for the reduction of automotive exhaust gas emissions. I carried out synthesis experiments in laboratory scale for the production of alumina foams. In addition, these foams were coated with noble metals. BET, XRD, REM, TGA, UV-Vis analysis was used to characterize the foams. The application of these foams for catalytic reduction of exhaust gas was tried out in catalytic experiments.

From 10/2011 I spent my placement at Novartis AG in Basel, Switzerland as part of my Bachelor-Thesis. The focus of my thesis was to investigate a process for continuous crystallization of pharmaceutical compounds. Therefore I characterized the system, simulated a continuous process using kinetic data from batch experiments and accomplished the continuous crystallization experiment.

This project was about dispersion of nanoparticles in molten wax. I carried out experiments for the Dispersion Analysis of nanoparticlewax- formulations.
