معرفی
Klarissa Niedermeier is a Research Fellow at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. She earned a PhD (Dr.-Ing.) in process engineering and specializes in high-temperature thermal energy storage systems using liquid metals as heat transfer fluids. Since 2023, she has led a junior research group focused on these technologies.
- Education: Doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering and Process Technology from KIT (2008–2014)
- Prior Positions: Project Manager at KIT (2019–2021), Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (2019)
Her research explores thermal energy storage materials, packed bed systems, and liquid metal applications in concentrated solar power (CSP) and industrial process heat. She has developed experimental test rigs like LIMELIGHT for component testing and contributed to studies on lead-bismuth eutectic and moltensodium systems.
Klarissa’s publications highlight advancements in high-temperature storage, thermocline systems, and entropy generation minimization for improved thermal efficiency. Her work addresses challenges in renewable energy integration, decarbonization, and practical implementation of liquid metal technologies.
She collaborates with institutions like the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Fraunhofer ISE, focusing on concentrating solar power, liquid metal heat transfer, and renewable industrial heat solutions. Klarissa is also involved in mentoring programs and advocates for sustainable energy systems.
