Unser Profil

The Chair for Optical Diagnostics in Energy, Process and Chemical Engineering (LOM), established in November 2022, belongs to the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FB4). We are a fast-growing team with a strong focus on long-term, multidisciplinary and international collaborations.

At LOM, we develop and apply advanced laser and optical measurement techniques to solve challenging problems in the field of energy, process chemical engineering. By developing the tools necessary to address these problems, LOM directly supports (among other things) the energy transition, sustainable mobility on land, air and sea, and decarbonization of industrial processes. We work closely with a wide range of collaborators from academic and industrial research groups.

Ihr Profil

Technical studies (master degree or comparable) completed with above-average success in the field of mechanical engineering, physics or comparable fields of study

Very good knowledge of thermodynamics, flow, combustion and process engineering

If possible, you have in-depth knowledge in the field of laser and optical measurement techniques (e.g. PIV, LIF, Rayleigh and/or Raman scattering spectroscopy)

You are enthusiastic, like challenges and have a high degree of independence, commitment and initiative

You have very good communication and teamwork skills

You are fluent in spoken and written German and English

Ihre Aufgaben

As a research associate at the LOM, we offer you the opportunity to participate in various innovative R&D projects in the field of "turbulent, reactive and high-temperature flows".

Within this framework, you will contribute to a better understanding of various energy-, process- and chemical-engineering-relevant processes through the development and application of state-of-the-art laser-optical methods.

Your responsibilities will also include the publication of your scientific results through lectures at national and international conferences and publications in high-quality journals. In addition, you will support the teaching activities of the institute by supervising courses and student theses. The activity thus offers a varied spectrum of theoretical, practical and organizational work.
