Personal details

Philipp Beeskow studied Chemical Engineering and Process Engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in the Bachelor's (B. Sc.) and Master's (M. Sc.) programs since WS 17/18. He completed his bachelor's degree in 2020 with the bachelor's thesis "Optimization of the coating of a Ni catalyst for use in microstructured reactors" at the Institute of Micro Process Engineering (IMVT). In the summer of 2023, he completed his master's degree with the master's thesis "Experimental investigation and kinetic modelling of the synthesis of oxymethylene ethers from dimethyl ether and trioxane" at the Institute of Catalysis Research and Technology (IKFT). As of September 2023, he is working as a research assistant / PhD student at IKFT.

 

Doctoral project

The ongoing energy and raw materials transition, the defossilisation necessitated by climate change and the expanded use of renewable energies are making electro-organic synthesis a key technology for the chemical-pharmaceutical industry. The future cluster ETOS (Electrification of Technical Organic Synthesis) has the vision of advancing technology transfer and thus accelerating process conversion in the industry. An overarching aspect of the transfer is the scale-up, the techno-economic evaluation and the life cycle assessment, which forms the basis of this doctoral project. The aim is to enable an evaluation of the developed processes in early development stages and thus support further development and transfer.
