معرفی
Prof. Dr. André Bardow is a Full Professor in Energy and Process Systems Engineering at ETH Zurich, leading research at the intersection of thermodynamics, machine learning, and sustainable energy systems. Previously, he held professorships at RWTH Aachen University (2010-2020) and TU Delft (2007-2010). He also served as part-time director at Forschungszentrum Jülich (2017-2022) and visiting professor at UC Santa Barbara (2015/16). His work focuses on energy systems optimization, computer-aided molecular design, and CO2 capture & utilization.
- PhD from RWTH Aachen University
- Current ETH Zurich affiliation
- Former roles at RWTH Aachen, TU Delft, Jülich Research Center
His research integrates machine learning with thermodynamic modeling to optimize processes like crystallization and electrochemical cooling. Recent publications demonstrate advancements in solvent design, CO2 transport LCA, and ORC working fluid optimization. He chairs the VDI Technical Committee for Thermodynamics (2016-2024) and has received multiple awards including the Covestro Science Award and Arnold-Eucken-Award.
Current projects address carbon circular economies, electrified chemical production, and AI-driven process optimization. His lab at ETH Zurich develops cutting-edge technologies like ML-CAMPD frameworks for sustainable separation processes and photoacid-based CO2 capture systems. Funding from the H2020 Systemic Expansion of Circular Ecosystems (grant 101036854) supports these initiatives.
