Biography
Christoph Müller has been a tenure track assistant professor for energy science and energy technology at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering since 2010. He was born in 1978 in Nuremberg, Germany. Christoph Müller completed his studies in 2004 as a graduate engineer at the Technical University of Munich and earned his doctorate in 2008 from the University of Cambridge, UK (Department of Chemical Process Engineering). In 2007, he received a scholarship as a junior researcher at Queen's College, Cambridge University, for his dissertation.
Research Interest
Christoph Müller's research in the Laboratory of Energy Science and Technology aims to apply basic knowledge gained from laboratory scale experiments, in combination with appropriate mathematical models, to industrial issues in efficient, sustainable power generation. The three main research fields of the Laboratory of Energy Science and Technology are: (i) sustainable electricity generation (eg by downstream CO2 separation, by chemical-looping combustion, by biomass or by extraction of high-purity hydrogen), (ii) heterogeneous reaction techniques and (iii ) basic research in multiphase granular systems using experimental techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or particle image velocimetry (PIV) as well as numerical approaches such as discrete-element modeling (DEM).
