Hornung, Andreas - University of Birmingham - School of Chemical Engineering

个人简介

Professor Andreas Hornung (CEng FIChemE FRSC) did his studies at the TU Darmstadt in Germany where he graduated as Engineer in Chemistry in 1991, he did his PhD at the TU Kaiserslautern in Germany. From 2000 to 2002 Hornung was working for companies in Austria and Italy for the development of the first prototypes. Such units have been used from 2002 on at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology where he worked until 2007 as head of the pyrolysis and gas treatment division. In 2007 he took over the chair in chemical engineering and applied chemistry at Aston University in Birmingham, UK. 2008 he founded the European Bioenergy Research Institute EBRI which he was leading as Director until end of 2013. Beginning of 2013 he became the director of the Institute branch Sulzbach-Rosenberg of Fraunhofer UMSICHT. Andreas is a member of the board of the International Biochar Initiative IBI and holds a Contract Professorship at the University of Bologna
