This week DTU Chemical and Biochemical Engineering had a visit from the new Chair of DTU - Technical University of Denmark's Board of Governors, Margrethe Vestager. She got a tour of our department, including our GMO lab and heard about our Power-to-X and Carbon capture projects, fermentation and downstream and the digitalization of our pilot plant. Margrethe Vestager is the former European Commissioner for Competition and Executive Vice President of the European Commission and showed great interest in our work related to climate, environment and industry. #dtu #chemicalengineering #research #sustainability #technologyforpeople

Doing a PhD can make a difference! PhD student at DTU Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Sofie Eriksen, is developing a liquid plaster for chronic wounds. Chronic wounds harm a patient's quality of life, causing immobility and pain. Finding a way to make them heal, such as Sofie's liquid plaster, could make a difference in many patients' lives. See more about Sofie's PhD project and why she chose this career path below. #chemicalengineering #dtu #phd

New PhD Course: Advanced Course on Molecular simulation of fluids: Fundamentals and industrial applications During 3-21 March 2025 we will hold a special PhD course on molecular simulation aimed at students and professionals from the industry. The course is taught by visiting professor Ioannis Economou from Texas A&M at Qatar. He has more than 30 years of experience in molecular thermodynamics and molecular simulation of complex fluids. The course will provide the participants with a knowledge of fundamental principles of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, how to link microscopic phenomena with macroscopic properties and how to model complex chemical systems in single or mixed phases. Click below to find out more about the course and register. Please note that the deadline for registration is 21 February 2025. #dtu #chemicalengineering #phd #course #simulation

Congratulations! Assoc. Professor Xiaodong Liang has received the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant. The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded him 2 m EUR to revolutionise molecular thermodynamics with water and electrolytes. His project REMOTE aims to deepen our fundamental understanding of the underlying physics—specifically, the relationships between structures, interactions, and properties—while laying the groundwork for a paradigm shift in molecular thermodynamics. #ERCCoG #thermodynamics #dtu #technologyforpeople #grant

Good kick-off vibes at our department this week. Anders Egede Daugaard hosted the second day of the RAW project kick-off meeting. RAW stands for Computation For A New Age Of Resource Aware Architecture: Waste-Sourced And Fast-Growing Bio-Based Materials and will among other things research in waste-based biopolymer composites for construction materials.
