Rheological measurements for the publication “Physical characterisation and yield stress of a concentrated Miscanthus suspension”. Quantification of the dependence of the yield stress and other viscoelastic properties on solid concentration for concentrations near maximum packing.

Science outreach activities by supervision and performance of experiments (Robotics and Telepresence) for german and international students, as well as during science fairs. Main purpose was to teach science basics in a playful way to get young students interested in natural sciences.

Optimisation of a magnetically inductive micro-feeding device for fed-batch processes in parallel bioreactors. Determination of the optimal setup (materials, valve types, etc.) and suitable operating conditions for the micro-feeding device. Cultivation of recombinant E.coli in parallel fed-batch processes using the micro-feeding device to produce Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP).

Theoretical analysis of hydrodynamic forces acting on a stent-graft in abdominal aortic aneurysm in unsteady flow conditions. Statistical analysis and characterisation of the lignocellulosic biomass Miscanthus (particle size distribution, morphology, settling rates, etc.) for the production of a second generation biofuel.
