Raimund Horn

Raimund Horn is a Professor at the Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH), leading the Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering. Previously, he was a Principal Investigator and Junior Scientist in Prof. R Schlögl's group at the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft. His research focuses on catalytic processes involving methane oxidation on noble metals and transition metal oxides, fixed-bed reactor design, and gel combustion synthesis.

• Affiliations: TUHH (since 2013), Formerly at Max Planck Institute

Research interests include methane activation mechanisms, catalyst development for oxidative coupling, and in-situ reactor profiling. Notable contributions include resolving kinetics in fixed-bed reactors and advancing lithium-doped magnesium oxide catalysts. Dr. Horn received the Hanns-Hofmann-Preis 2011 for his work in reaction engineering.

• Key Projects: BasCat collaboration, UniCat Research Fields D1/D2 (2012-2013), A1/C3 (2008-2011)

His publications emphasize spatial reactor profiling, microkinetic modeling, and material characterization. He holds a patent for in-situ spectroscopic measurement techniques in reactors.
