Bernd Meyer

Bernd Meyer (born April 29, 1952 in Annaberg-Buchholz ) is a German process and fuel technician . He has been professor for energy process engineering and thermal residue treatment since 1994. Meyer was the 39th rector of the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg between 2008 and 2015 . He heads the “Chemical Conversion Processes” business unit at the Fraunhofer Institute IMWS / Halle and, since 2019, the new IMWS branch for carbon cycle technologies in Freiberg.

Life

Meyer studied process engineering at the Technical University of Leuna / Merseburg and at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg and received his doctorate in 1978 as a Dr.-Ing. His professional career began at the German Fuel Institute in Freiberg in research and development in the field of fuel technologies. After leaving the GDR in April 1989, he worked in Cologne at Rheinbraun AG as a manager in the R&D department for gasification technologies and power plant technology.

Since 1994 Meyer has been Professor of Energy Process Engineering and Thermal Waste Treatment at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg and Director of the Center for Innovation Competence for Virtual High-Temperature Conversion Processes "Virtuhcon".

In 2006 he founded the International Freiberg Conference on IGCC & XtL Technologies (IFC). Today it is one of the leading international conferences on the material use of fossil fuels and the carbon cycle economy. Meyer was Dean of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg from 2000 to 2002, a member of the Senate from 2002 to 2005 and Rector of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg for two terms from 2008 to 2015. During the term of office, the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology was founded in 2011 and in 2014 the Lomonossow House with living and study house as well as a Lomonossow salon was inaugurated at the historic study site of WM Lomonossow in Freiberg.

After his rector's time, Meyer returned to work as professor and institute director at the IEC. Since 2017 he has headed the Chemical Conversion Processes division at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS / Halle and since 2019 the newly created IMWS branch for carbon cycle technologies in Freiberg.

Meyer belongs to the Saxon Academy of Sciences and the Energy Advisory Board of the Saxon Minister of Economics. He received the following international honors and recognitions: 2012 honorary doctorate from the National Mining University in Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine), 2015 honorary professor from Lomonosov University (Moscow) and honorary scientist of the Russian Federation, 2016 honorary doctorate from the Mining University of St. Petersburg , 2018 distinguished scientist from the Chinese Academy of Science President's International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI) and High-End Foreign Talent of Shanxi Province (China) as well as visiting professor at the East China University of Science and Technology Shanghai (China).

In 2014 he founded DBI-Virtuhcon GmbH, affiliated institute of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, of which he is the scientific director and managing director.

His expertise lies in the chemical use of energy sources and technologies for the carbon cycle economy, especially gasification technology.

In connection with DBI-Virtuhcon GmbH, the professorship has research equipment with large pilot plants and industrial-like pilot systems for gasification technology, gas cleaning and fuel synthesis.

Meyer is married and has two children.
