Michael Mangold

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Michael Mangold is a Professor for Mathematics for Engineers at Technische Hochschule Bingen since 2016. Previously, he held an außerplanmäßige Professor position in Systemdynamik at Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (2011–2016). His research focuses on mathematical modeling, process control, and system dynamics with applications in chemical engineering, fuel cells, and enantioselective crystallization. He completed his Dipl.-Ing. in Technische Kybernetik (1993) and Dr.-Ing. in Nichtlineare Analyse (2000) at Universität Stuttgart, followed by a Habilitation in Rechnergestützte Modellierung (2006) at Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg.

Key roles include Auslandsbeauftragter for Mechanical Engineering programs and chair of the Prüfungsausschuss for Mechanical and Economic Engineering bachelor programs. He teaches courses on Mathematics, Thermodynamics, and Programming for engineers.

Research interests span model reduction, crystallization processes, and fuel cell dynamics. Notable awards include the LEWA-Preis (2002) and best presentation award (2009). His projects involve enantiomer separation via fluidized beds and fault diagnosis in fuel cell systems. Collaborations include work with Prof. Dr. A. Seidel-Morgenstern (Max Planck Institute) on crystallization process optimization.
