Stellenticket Technische Universität Dresden

The research in this department focuses on the area of pressure gain combustion, specifically that of rotating detonation combustion, and addresses questions related to fundamental physics, design, and development of these devices, including: the combustion of various fuels (foremost of which is hydrogen), the stabilization and propagation of detonation waves, and the application of these devices, particularly for gas turbine integration. In addition to these fundamental physical insights, the research focus aims to advance the development of this technology through innovative techniques and experimental methods in this extreme domain.

The profile of the university lectureship includes the following tasks to be performed independently:

• Supervision of undergraduate, Master's, and PhD students
• Independent supervision and procurement of research projects and third-party funding
• Writing, reviewing, and revising scientific publications and third-party funding proposals in the field of experimental combustion research, with a focus on Pressure-Gain- Combustion
• Planning and development of experiments related to rotating detonation combustion and other Pressure-Gain-Combustion (PGC) technologies
• Teaching activities in the fields of combustion, Pressure-Gain Combustion, thermodynamics, and compressible fluid mechanics
• Development and supervision of research facilities for PGC

• Fulfilment of the employment requirements in accordance with § 108 Berliner Hochschulgesetz (BerlHG)
