معرفی
Thomas Koch is a Professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and heads the Institute for Piston Engines (IFKM). His research focuses on improving the CO2 balance of combustion engines, eliminating emissions, and optimizing system efficiency through interdisciplinary approaches. He emphasizes collaboration between electric and combustion engine technologies, advocating for their complementary roles in sustainable mobility and energy supply.
Koch’s work centers on non-fossil fuels (reFuels) such as hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and ammonia, aiming to achieve near emission-neutral combustion. His team employs optical measurement techniques, advanced simulations, and industrial partnerships to enhance engine energy conversion, exhaust aftertreatment, and residual heat utilization. He also contributes to scientific advisory boards and international conferences.
