In 2015 the Faculty of Engineering (FIW) updated the structure of the faculty research profiles and created highly interdisciplinary key profile points (PSP). These key profile points focus the research activities of the institutes across the department borders.

The Chair of Mechanical Process Engineering / Water Technology is ideally suited with his Research Topics - Exploitation of contaminated water resources, Process optimisation and simulation and Circular Economy - and involved with different Projects into the key profile points „Energy and Resource Engineering“ and „Tailored Materials“ of the Faculty of Engineering.
