Research area
Christoph Muller’s research in the Laboratory of Energy Science and Engineering is aimed at applying a fundamental understanding gained from laboratory-scale experiments, together with appropriate mathematical modelling, to the industrial challenges of generating electricity in efficient and sustainable ways.
The three main research areas of the Laboratory of Energy Science and Engineering are: (i) sustainable electricity generation (e.g. post-combustion CO2 separation, chemical looping combustion, biomass, generation of ultra-pure hydrogen), (ii) heterogeneous catalysis (e.g. reforming, CO2 hydrogenation, dehydrogenation) and (iii) fundamentals of multi-phase granular systems using experimental techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and numerical approaches such as Discrete Element Modelling (DEM)
Christoph Muller has been an Associate Professor (tenured) of Energy Science and Engineering in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering since 2015.
He received an undergraduate degree (Dipl.-Ing.) from the Technical University of Munich, Germany, in 2004. In 2008 he earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK (Department of Chemical Engineering).
Based on his PhD thesis, Christoph Muller was awarded a Junior Research-Fellowship at the Queen’s College of the University of Cambridge in 2007.
