•Entwicklung eines mathematischen Modells zur Kosten(CAPEX, OPEX)- und Emissionsoptimierung industrieller Prozesse (z. B. Zellstoff- und Papierherstellung). •Anwendung der COMANDO-Software in Kombination mit Pyomo Lösung von MILP- und MINLP-Optimierungsproblemen mit BARON- und Gurobi-Solvern. •Analyse von Energieverbrauch, Prozessintegration und Emissionsreduktionspotenzialen Bewertung wirtschaftlicher und technischer Optimierungsstrategien.

•Led the scale-up of chemical synthesis processes from kilo lab to pilot and plant scale, ensuring optimization and safety compliance. •Commissioned new plants and identified root causes of issues, implementing effective troubleshooting solutions. •Designed and developed PFDs and Piping & P&IDs for new projects. •Conducted material and energy balance calculations for complex organic reactions. •Operated key unit processes such as oxidation, chlorination, etherification, alkylation, and acidification.

•Managed critical unit operations including continuous distillation, extraction, absorption, adsorption, crystallization, drying, and filtration. •Conducted quality control analysis using HPLC, GC, Karl Fischer titration. •Developed safety reports and near-miss analyses to enhance industrial safety. •Ensured efficient and smooth chemical plant operations by optimizing process parameters.
