Project description
WE RESEARCH FOR A HEALTHY WORLD – AND OFFER DIVERSE OPPORTUNITIES. CHANGE STARTS WITH US. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB, we combine biology and engineering for health, nutrition, sustainable chemistry, the environment, and climate protection. We develop processes, technologies, and products for patient-centered healthcare, a sustainable bioeconomy, and a climate-neutral and resource-efficient circular economy, bringing new solutions successfully to industrial implementation. We conduct research at the Stuttgart, Biberach, Leuna, and Straubing sites and in close collaboration with numerous universities and research institutions at home and abroad. In Straubing, we develop methods to the sustainable green transition to a circular economy in industrial chemical production. Through electrocatalytic power-to-X-to-Y processes, CO2 can be converted into platform chemicals. Bachelor's or Master's theses in our group are involved in the preparation of electrodes and their characterization in electrochemical processes. There is also a focus on upscaling to bridge the gap between laboratory and industrial applications. Topics of interest include electrochemical CO2 reduction and electrochemical upgrading of bio-based compounds. Be part of change Your tasks include working with electrochemical cells. The evaluation of electrochemical performance is conducted by you. You do literature searches to identify relevant developments and integrate them into your work. You analyze the correlations between raw materials, operating parameters, and production rate. Results are evaluated, discussed, and regularly reported to relevant stakeholders.
