Christof Schulz

Christof Schulz (born July 17, 1967 in Karlsruhe ) is a German chemist specializing in combustion research and nanomaterial synthesis and head of the “Reactive Fluids” chair at the Institute for Combustion and Gas Dynamics at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

Scientific career

Christof Schulz studied chemistry at the University of Karlsruhe and graduated with honors in 1994. At the University of Heidelberg he received his doctorate in 1997 with the thesis on the development and application of a laser spectroscopic method for the quantitative detection of instantaneous nitrogen oxide distributions in the combustion engine . From 1997 to 2004 he was head of the “Laser Diagnostics for Combustion Processes” department at the Physico-Chemical Institute of Heidelberg University. In the meantime, he completed his habilitation in 2002 with the thesis Abbildende laser spectroscopic methods for measuring concentrations, temperatures and speeds in combustion processes and chemically reacting flows . Between 2002 and 2003 he was a consulting associate professor at Stanford University. In 2004 Christof Schulz was appointed head of the “Reactive Fluids” chair (until 2012: “Combustion and Gas Dynamics”) at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen. From 2010 to 2015 he was Scientific Director of the Center for Nanointegration ( CENIDE ) and has also been Scientific Director of the NanoEnergieTechnikZentrum (NETZ) since 2010.

research

Understanding and controlling combustion processes and nanomaterial synthesis in the gas phase on a microscopic level is the dominant topic of Christof Schulz's research. His working group researches elementary processes in engines as well as tailor-made nanomaterials for various applications. All research aspects have in common that they are based on combustion processes and related processes in gases at high temperatures, the understanding of which is essential for the further development of the respective process. One focus is on the development and application of modern laser-based measurement methods.
