معرفی
apl. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Matthes is an Associate Professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), affiliated with the Institute for Automation and Applied Informatics (IAI). His research focuses on developing advanced measurement systems for industrial applications under extreme conditions, particularly high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
His primary research interests include:
- Automation systems and applied informatics
- High-speed imaging and optical measurement technology
- Image processing for industrial flame characterization
- Gasification technology and energy systems
- Industrial process monitoring under extreme conditions
Prof. Matthes has developed innovative camera-based measurement systems capable of operating under harsh conditions (up to 1200°C and 40 bar pressure) to monitor and characterize flame properties in industrial gasifiers. His recent work demonstrates the application of these systems in the bioliq® process for synthetic fuel production from biomass residues and waste materials, addressing critical challenges in flame stability monitoring for fluctuating fuel specifications.
His notable contributions include:
- Development of a high-speed camera-based measurement system for high-pressure entrained-flow gasification
- Advanced image processing techniques for determining flame parameters like lift-off distance and flame angle
- Methods for analyzing flame size dynamics to detect instabilities at early stages
- Validation of measurement reproducibility over extended operation periods (29+ hours)
Prof. Matthes' research has direct applications in optimizing energy conversion processes, particularly for sustainable fuel production. His work bridges the gap between theoretical image processing and practical industrial implementation in challenging environments, providing valuable tools for process optimization and stability monitoring in energy technology.
