Christoph Wigger studied Energy and Environmental Engineering at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) from 2016 to 2020. He continued his studies in the master’s programme in Energy and Environmental Engineering at TUHH, graduating in September 2023. In his master's thesis, microfluidic reactors have been investigated from a Lagrangian perspective identifying critical regions and thereby enhance mixing efficiency using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
In September 2023, Christoph Wigger began working as a research assistant at the IMS, contributing to the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1615 SMART Reactors and focusing on projects B04 and C01, which are dedicated to tailored transport processes in multiphase reactors and the integration of components into adaptive geometries. He is simulating the flow inside periodic cellular structure, which can potentially serve as a catalyst carrier and be utilised to dynamically control the process conditions in SMART Reactors.
