Felix Giesa

Felix Giesa serves as a Temporary Lecturer at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences within the Department of Applied Biosciences and Process Engineering. Based at the Köthen campus in Building 02 (Grünes Gebäude), Room -1.03, he contributes to both teaching and research activities at the university.

His research focuses on the optimization of filter media structures using evolutionary algorithms, with particular emphasis on porosity gradient optimization to improve energy efficiency in filtration processes. Giesa's work bridges computational methods with practical engineering applications, developing approaches that balance separation efficiency with reduced energy consumption.

His recent publication in Materials Today (2024) demonstrates significant advancements in filter media design, achieving up to 30% higher quality factors through optimized porosity gradients. The research employs computationally efficient 1D simulation methods coupled with evolutionary algorithms, making the optimization process practical for real-world implementation on standard computing hardware.

Giesa's work has direct applications in industrial filtration systems where energy consumption represents a major operational cost. His methodology provides a framework for optimizing filter media structures that can be extended to various filtration applications including water treatment, air purification, and industrial process filtration.

As a scientific staff member and lecturer, Giesa contributes to the educational mission of the Department of Applied Biosciences and Process Engineering while advancing research in computational optimization of engineering systems.
