PhD Position / Research Assistent (f/m/d) on Development and characterization of a reaction device for NMR measurements under harsh process conditions

• Simulation, modelling, design and manufacturing of miniaturized reaction modules (mixers, reactors, heat exchangers). Manufacturing technique is 3D ceramic printing, preferably.
• Test and characterization of the modules with regard to target temperature and pressure, mixing quality, reaction performance as well as application in stan­dar­dized high-field NMR systems. Transfer to benchtop NMR system could be a next step.
• Miniaturization of the already developed devices, application with new and ad­van­ced mini- / micro NMR systems, combination with other systems within the CRC program.
• Supervision of bachelor / master students. Support in teaching for several lec­tures for microscale process engineering.
• Publication of research results in peer-reviewed journals, conferences and work­shops.
