Prof. Matthias Thommes is the head of the Chair of Thermal Process Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. His research focuses on the innovative fields of thermal process engineering, particularly in adsorption and structural characterization of nanoporous materials. Significant research interests include the phase and wetting behavior of fluids in pores and at the adsorbent interface, seeking to extract information regarding the surface and pore structure of materials. Additionally, he explores fundamental research in gas storage, including hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. A key aim is to establish correlations between the characteristic adsorption properties of porous materials and processes applied in areas such as gas and energy storage, separation technology, and heterogeneous catalysis. Prof. Thommes also emphasizes systematic process design, integrating experimental characterization with theoretical and computer-based methods to develop processes for separations, such as preparative chromatography, gas adsorption, and membrane processes. His work spans applications from fine chemicals to pharmaceuticals and basic chemicals, supplemented by thermodynamics and high-pressure process engineering.
