I am a researcher at the Laboratory of Engineering Thermodynamics of RPTU Kaiserslautern. I combine physical knowledge with machine learning (ML) to build hybrid thermodynamic models and apply them in chemical process simulations. My main focus is on new fundamental equations of state (EOS) and transport property models for pure fluids and mixtures. As an integral part of this work, I contribute to the development of thermodynamic open-source libraries in the Julia language – including our hybrid ML models (see Projects).
