Theses and student projects

If you are interested in exciting research (experimental, numerical or theoretical), you’re in the right place!

Here, you can find current Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis topics, as well as project work (ADP). Simply contact the respective supervisor.

Nothing suitable there? In addition to these postings, there are often other topics available at our institute. Please contact Prof. Hardt () to enquire about current topics.

Nano- and microfluidics sounds exciting, but you're not sure what topic would be a good fit for you? Feel free to get in touch with Melly () for a brief meeting to learn about our research, our team, and what it's like to write a thesis at NMF.

  • Masterthesis

    This thesis aims to investigate the transport processes in the electrolyte and the reaction kinetics at the electrode surface using numerical simulations in OpenFOAM. The influence of different electrode structures, reaction kinetics, species concentrations, and electrolyte properties will be systematically analysed with respect to concentration profiles, conversion rates, and reaction selectivity. In addition, the influence of a superimposed convective flow on transport and reaction behaviour will be examined.

    Supervisor: Alexander Wagner, M. Sc.

  • Masterthesis

    This thesis aims to investigate the dynamic wetting behaviour of coated electrode structures using numerical simulations in OpenFOAM. The influence of different surface coatings, gauze geometries, and wetting properties on interface formation and stability will be analysed. To this end, provided CT scan data of differently coated gauzes will be processed into computational domains and numerical meshes for efficient simulations.
