Research
Process systems engineering studies can aid in the area of sustainability in chemical engineering:
- Evaluation of environmental (“green”) aspects of new strategies (LCA, life-cycle assessment)
- Identification of cost drivers and technological bottlenecks (TEA, techno-economic assessment)
and can be thus coupled with experimental catalysis studies.
Research Goal: Development of computer-aided tools and models to synthesize and evaluate new systems/products
