Matthias Kraume

Kraume has played an integral role in three non-profit working groups, the EFCE working group "Mixing", the ProcessNet specialist group for mixing processes and the ProcessNet specialist group CFD, which are all part of DECHEMA. Dr. Matthias Kraume and Dr. Alberto Brucato have won the European Federation of Chemical Engineering's 2021 Nienow Lifetime Recognition Award in Mixing due to their outstanding contributions to mixing research and practice. In addition, Kraume is a member of the VDI-GVC (Association of German Engineers and Society for Chemical Engineering). Kraume is a founding member of three research associations: GRK 827: transport processes and moving phase interfaces (spokesperson); UniCat: Standardizing concepts in catalysis (member); and TRR 63: Integrated chemical processes in liquid multiphase systems (spokesperson).

After primary school and high school in Hagen, Kraume studied chemical engineering at the Technical University of Dortmund from 1976 to 1982. He was then offered the position of a scientific assistant. He received his doctorate in 1985 on the subject of "Direct heat transfer in the condensation of vapor bubbles in a pipe" under the supervision of Paul-Michael Weinspach. Kraume then worked for nine years (1985-1994) as a research engineer at BASF AG in Ludwigshafen, before becoming a full professor of process engineering at the TU Berlin.

Matthias Kraume (born December 13, 1955) is a German Chemical and Process Engineer and university professor. He is a professor of process engineering at the Technical University of Berlin and a member of the advisory board of Chemie Ingenieur Technik (CIT), the monthly journal of the Society of German Chemists (GDCh).
