Biography

Madlen Rogel completed a Bachelor's degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), where the final thesis at the Institute of Thermal Process Engineering focused on the processing of industrial tobacco residues using an extraction cascade.

Building on this background, a Master's degree in Renewable Energies was completed at TUHH. The Master's research, conducted at the Institute of Multiphase Flows, dealt with the development of an improved breakup criterion for gas bubbles in stirred reactors.

Currently, Madlen Rogel is pursuing a PhD within the graduate school Climate Informed Engineering, focusing on how climate variations influence the properties of natural raw materials and their processing in energy and biorefinery applications.

Research

The graduate school Climate Informed Engineering at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), led by Prof. Dr. Nima Shokri of Institute of Geo-Hydroinformatics, aims to develop engineering solutions that integrate climate data into the design and optimization of diverse systems. As part of this graduate school, this subproject focuses on how climate-driven variations in natural raw materials affect their composition and the efficiency of different extraction processes. Plant species from diverse regions are analyzed to understand how changing climatic conditions influence biomass properties and, consequently, the resulting products.

The project further aims to optimize extraction strategies to enhance yield and quality in ways that are adaptable to different raw materials and climate scenarios. Data analysis and modeling approaches are applied to connect climate information with biomass properties and processing outcomes. Machine learning algorithms are applied to identify correlations between climate data, biomass characteristics, and processing parameters.
