Experience Report

I have had the pleasure of contributing to the Turbulent Combustion lecture series at the von Karman Institute for many years. It has become a renowned forum for presenting cutting-edge combustion research to the next generation of scientists.

During the 40th ISC High Performance 2025 (https://isc-hpc.com), Europe’s first Exascale system – JUPITER – has officially gone online. And we’re proud to be part of it!

New publication

In our new paper, we use boundary-layer resolved simulations to investigate the behavior of iron dust flames near walls — both adiabatic and non-adiabatic. Our findings reveal critical insights into flame dynamics at particle-level resolution.

Honored to be elected Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society

New publication

You might remember that I’ve talked about reduced-order modeling before – especially in the context of Chemical Reactor Networks (CRNs). I’m proud to share that I was part of a recent collaboration with colleagues from Mathematics, where we brought together engineering and mathematical perspectives to tackle this complex topic.

New publication

This joint study by the Reaktive Strömungen und Messtechnik (RSM), TU Darmstadt and Simulation of reactive Thermo-Fluid Systems (STFS), TU Darmstadt integrates optical diagnostics (PIV) with Large Eddy Simulations based on a novel chemistry tabulation and Lagrangian particle model.

I’m honored to contribute once again to the turbulent combustion course at von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, where I’ve been teaching as a lecturer for many years. Many thanks to Luc Vervisch and Denis Veynante for inviting me to contribute…. and of course Jeroen van Beeck for the excellent organization.

About to kick-off our „HyCoMES“ project on Europe's first Exascale supercomputer – JUPITER! High Performance Computing meets Clean Energy Innovation How can green hydrogen burn clean, safe, and efficient in next-gen gas turbines? That’s the key question of our new project HyCoMES (Data-Driven Hydrogen Combustion Modeling using Exascale Simulations), which was chosen as a lighthouse project on the first European Exascale System Jupiter.

Conference speak

Honored to be invited as a speaker at 15th Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion (ASPACC 2025). I'll be sharing insights on Metal Energy – using metals like iron as sustainable energy carriers.

Code Refactoring

Besides the daily research grind, we regularly set aside dedicated time – our Code Quality Weeks – to step back from writing papers or running new simulations and instead focus on cleaning up and improving our scientific software.

Förderprogramm von STFS und RSM

Ignite Sustainability ist ein zweijähriges Programm für Bachelorabsolvent:innen. Als studentische Hilfskraft erforschen Sie in unseren Teams nachhaltige chemische Energieträger mithilfe von experimentellen und numerischen Methoden und gestalten so die Energiewende mit. Mentoring und die Teilnahme an Tagungen und Konferenzen runden das Programm ab und bereiten optimal auf eine Promotion vor.
