🔬 Bridging Chemistry and Process Engineering On June 8, 2026, Professor Dr. Robert Franke delivered an invited lecture entitled “Bridging Chemistry and Process Engineering in the Industrial C4 Petrochemical Sector” at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf as part of the Physical Chemistry Colloquium. The talk focused on innovative approaches to optimizing complex process steps using machine learning and artificial intelligence. A key highlight was the successful practical implementation of these methods in close collaboration with colleagues in production plants, an essential driver for rapid and sustainable value creation from research. Another focus was the application of vibrational spectroscopic techniques, enabling cost-effective and rapid data acquisition in complex production networks. An inspiring insight into the successful integration of fundamental research and industrial application! Harald Haeger Frank Beissmann Berthold Doennebrink #Chemistry4People #TeamOxeno
