Andreas Seidel-Morgenstern

Andreas Seidel-Morgenstern is a full Professor and Chair holder for Chemical Process Engineering at the Faculty of Process and Systems Engineering, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg since 1995. He serves as a Scientific Member and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, leads the research group 'Physical-Chemical Fundamentals of Process Engineering', and has held administrative roles including Dean (2005-2006) and Managing Director (2007-2008, 2015-2016).

Education:

• Diploma in Process Engineering (1982), Leuna-Merseburg University of Applied Sciences
• PhD in Physical Chemistry (1987), Academy of Sciences of the GDR

His research specializes in reactor design, chromatographic reactors, membrane reactors, crystallization, and enantiomer separation. He focuses on mathematical modeling, process simulation, and optimization of chemical systems, with applications in adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis, and transport processes in porous media.

Recent publications explore methanol synthesis optimization and multistage reactor control systems, reflecting interests in chemical reaction engineering and sustainable energy processes. His work emphasizes process intensification and modeling-driven optimization.

Scientific Recognition:

• Humanity in Science Award (2015)
• Max-Buchner-Preis (1999)
• 4 Faculty Best Dissertation Awards (OvGU)
• Ehrendoktorates from Lappeenranta University of Technology (Finland, 2008) and Syddansk Universitet (Denmark, 2012)

He leads international collaborations with institutions like TU Dortmund, ETH Zurich, University of Manchester, and Syncom (Netherlands), focusing on integrated chemical processes in multiphase systems.
