Prof. Dr. Alexander Alekseev
Career
After my studies at the Moscow Institute for Power Engineering (MEI) in Russia, I worked as a research assistant at the Department for Cryogenics with Prof. V. Brodianski and Prof. M. Boiarski. In summer 1994, I received a study grant from the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD and started my Ph.D at the Technical University of Dresden with Prof. H. Quack. After graduating in 1999, I went to California and enjoyed a stay at the Stanford University (Prof. W. Little) as a guest scientist. In 2000, I got my first industrial position in the engineering department of the company Messer Cryotherm in Germany. Five years later, I moved to the company Linde in Munich as a process design engineer for air separation. Later, I worked on technologies for CO2 capture and storage, cryogenic energy storage, isotope separation, flexibilization of process plants and hydrogen-related topics. Simultaneously, since 2012, I have been a lecturer for "Basics of refrigeration and industrial cryogenic systems" at the TU Munich, Chair of Plant and Process Technology. Since 2021, I am honorary professor.
