Jochen Dreyer

Jochen Dreyer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he leads research within the Hempel Foundation Coatings Science and Technology Centre (CoaST). His work spans combustion science, nanoparticle synthesis, and advanced coating technologies, with strong international collaborations across institutions in Singapore, China, Spain, and Australia.

Education:

• PhD, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR (2012–2015)
• M.Sc., University of Bremen, Germany (2010–2011)
• B.Sc., University of Bremen, Germany (2006–2010)

His research focuses on flame spray pyrolysis, soot formation, heterogeneous catalysis, and intumescent coatings. He investigates the synthesis of functional nanoparticles in flames and the fire performance of protective coatings, particularly through pore structure analysis and lab-scale testing. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable materials and clean energy.

Recent publications (2024–2025) highlight a strong trend in fire-safe materials, especially the performance and characterization of intumescent coatings under various heating and testing conditions. His studies integrate experimental and image-based analysis to understand coating behavior during fire exposure.
