Nominator's project description

Professor Dr. Krishna Deo Prasad Nigam is internationally well known for his outstanding research in chemical process engineering. In particular, he has made important contributions to the analysis and design of multiphase reactors. He has also developed new technologies for process intensification such as the Coiled Flow Inverter. In his work, Professor Nigam combines modern process modeling concepts with advanced experimental techniques. During his stay in Germany, he intends to continue his research on gas-liquid, liquid-liquid and gas-liquid-liquid reactors. Professor Dr. Krishna Deo Prasad Nigam is hosted by Professor Dr.-Ing. Kai Sundmacher at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, by Professor Dr.-Ing. Matthias Kraume at Berlin University of Technology and by Professor Dr.-Ing. Andrzej Górak at Dortmund University of Technology.
