Prof. Dr. Alexandra von Kameke is involved in two projects in the new DFG-funded collaborative research centre "SMART Reactors" at TUHH.

We gladly announce our participation in the recently granted Collaborative Research Center "Smart Reactors"! Prof. Irina Smirnova will be Vice-Spokesperson of the CRC and is responsible for two of the twenty projects (A01 & B01). More information about the CRC “Smart Reactors” can be found here. The long-term research goal of the twelve-year CRC concept is to create the scientific basis for a new generation of autonomous reactors for chemical, biochemical and mechanical transformation processes that can operate independently through self-adaptation and convert changing renewable raw materials into valuable products in the most sustainable way considering the fluctuations of the feed quality. The first project TVT is involved in A01 in close collaboration with our partners from University of Hamburg: Stimuli-responsive polymers for self-regulating reactors: From basic phenomena to reactor design. This project focuses on the development of stimuli-responsive materials and their integration in tailored SMART 3D-printed chemical reactors (at lab and, prospectively, pilot-scale) with special focus on inherent control and actuation. Our second project is in close collaboration with our Mercator fellow Prof. Walter Chapman and our Junior-Prof. Pavel Gurikov (B01): Materials for SMART reactors: Thermodynamic and kinetic modelling of responsive materials. This project focuses on the development of molecular thermodynamic and kinetic models describing the behavior of stimuli-responsive materials to provide comprehensive insights for the experimental studies in the CRC and set the groundwork for establishing a digital twin simulator of chemical and biochemical processes.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ After Sales division takes care of customers from the moment they purchase a vehicle. The aim is to achieve an optimal balance between the company’s performance and customer satisfaction. With more than 1 billion euros in revenue per year, After Sales significantly contributes to the success of the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand. The After Sales Revenue and Performance Planning department is responsible for planning After Sales revenue and performance, as well as analyzing all relevant key figures for managing the global After Sales business. In this exciting environment, we are currently looking for a suitable candidate to join our team. If you’re interested, please apply using the following link: Link to the job opening

On Friday, 30.06.2023 we would like to revive old contacts as well as establish new ones. For this reason, we are organizing a meeting of former and current employees of our institute once again after 5 years (including a Corona break !). We are very much looking forward to the reunion!

Mit Jessica Ehrbar, Christian Masuhr und Jan-Erik Rath besuchten drei IFPTler die "32nd International Conference on Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing" (FAIM) vom 18.-22.6. in Porto (Portugal). Neben erfolgreichen Präsentationen der eingereichten Paper standen der Austausch mit Wissenschaftler*innen aus aller Welt, Keynote-Sessions aus Forschung und Wirtschaft sowie Industriebesuche bei Bosch und Renault auf dem Programm.

Am heutigen Donnerstag den 22.06.2023 fand die alljährliche Abschlusspräsentation des CAE-Teamprojekts statt. Hier stellten die Studierenden ihre Ergebnisse in einem kurzen Pitch vor und wählten die besten Designs aus. Das CAE-Teamprojekt ist eine problemorientierte Lehrveranstaltung, die im Rahmen der Bachelorveranstaltung "Integrierte Produktentwicklung 1" stattfindet. In diesem Projekt treten Studierendenteams gegeneinander an, um auf einer vorgegebenen fahrenden Roboterplattform eine neue Produktvariante zu entwickeln. Die Aufgabe bestand darin ein erstes Design zu entwerfen, dieses im CAD- und PDM-System umzusetzen, sowie Festigkeitsanalysen und Topologieoptimierungen der Bauteile mit Hilfe der FEM durchzuführen. Dieses Jahr wurden die Fahrzeuge um LEDs erweitert. Die 3 Siegerteams werden ihre Designs nun mit der additiven Fertigung herstellen und in einem Parkour am 13.07. gegeneinander antreten. Wir sind auf das Rennen gespannt!

Dust blowing from the beds of drying terminal lakes poses public health threats in many locations around the globe. This is one of the most serious threats we will be dealing with in the 21st century affecting not only human health but also long term security of natural resources and infrastructure. Here, at Hamburg University of Technology, we are developing novel tools aiming at utilizing engineering science and technology to face challenges brought upon by dust emission under increased climate variability. Recently, Prof. Shokri had an interview with Nate Seltenrich who covers science and the environment from the San Francisco Bay Area. The interview formed a part of Nate's recent Focus article "A Terminal Case? Shrinking Inland Seas Expose Salty Particulates and More" appeared in Environmental Health Perspectives which is published by the support from U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Check out Nate’s story here: https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EHP12835 Seltenrich (2023), A Terminal Case?
