Prof. Dr. Heiko Briesen
Academic Career and Research Areas
Prof. Briesen’s (*1971) research involves the transfer and new development of process systems engineering concepts for food and beverage technology and biological processes. Insight derived from models combining mathematical and computer science techniques with the latest process expertise serves to develop new and optimize existing products and processes.
Prof. Briesen studied chemical engineering at the University of Karlsruhe and the University of Cincinnati from 1992 to 1997. He went on to earn his doctorate at the Chair of Process Systems Engineering at RWTH Aachen (Prof. Marquardt), receiving his doctoral degree in 2002 and his post-doctoral teaching qualification in 2008. Between 2007 and 2008, Prof. Briesen headed the Population Dynamics junior research group at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg. He has been a full professor at TUM since November 2008.
