Dirk Sachsenheimer

Dirk Sachsenheimer serves as Professor of Physical Chemistry at Nuremberg Technical University since 2022. Previously, he held a professorship in Chemical Process Engineering at Reutlingen University (2021-2022) and worked at Robert Bosch GmbH's Bamberg plant (2015-2021). His academic foundation was built at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology with a Diploma (2006-2011) and PhD (2011-2014) in Chemical Engineering and Process Engineering.

His educational background includes:

• Diploma in Chemical Engineering and Process Engineering (2006-2011), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
• PhD in Chemical Engineering (2011-2014), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology; Dissertation: "Capillary thinning of viscoelastic fluid filaments"

Professor Sachsenheimer's research spans Physical Chemistry of Fluid Systems, emphasizing Rheology and stability of complex fluids, disperse systems (emulsions/dispersions/foams), polymer/surfactant solutions, and interfacial phenomena including surface tension-driven flows. His secondary focus is Textile Chemistry, particularly dye adsorption behavior. He teaches core subjects: Chemical Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry, Kinetics, Phase Equilibria, and Practical Physical Chemistry laboratory courses.
