Depleting fossil resources force us to think about alternative feedstocks not only in energy supply. Also numerous every day products such as plastics, paints, detergents and cleaning products and much more needs to be produced from renewable raw materials in a future bio-based economy.
Our research focuses on the utilization of renewable raw materials for the production of various chemical products. For this we use in particular biotechnological and chemical-catalytic conversion processes. Furthermore, we develop methods for the production of bio-based polymers and materials.
In these areas we offer permanently positions for student assistants and opportunities to conduct internships, student research projects as well as bachelor and master theses:
We offer interested students the opportunity to carry out bachelor and master theses as well as internships and literature researches. Our approach to work is interdisciplinary and highly application-oriented. Depending on the particular interests you can work in the fields of biomass digestion / saccharification, chemical and biotechnological conversion of renewable raw materials or the production of bio-based materials.
Focus of the work for students of biotechnology, bioengineering or related subjects are:
