Biochemical Engineering
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jochen Büchs
Our research activities are mainly focused on new methods and devices for the development of advanced biotechnological production processes. This requires a combination of theoretical knowledge in biology and engineering and experience in the design and realisation of experimental investigations. Our group sustains close co-operations with several reputable companies and provides practical solutions to complex biotechnological problems. more
Our focus on research:
 | Model-based experimental analysis |
 | Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass (TMFB) |
 | Shaken bioreactors |
 | Fermentation technology |
 | Biocatalysis |
 | Online measurement techniques |
