PROFESSIONAL AND RESEARCH ACTIVITY 1. University of Düsseldorf, Institute of Physical Chemistry Working position: Research Associate Duration: 01.10.1977-31.12.1980 (3 years and 3 months) My professional and research activities included the provision of work in the laboratories of Physical Chemistry, particularly in: Laboratory of IR UV, IR- FT and NMR Spectroscopy. Laboratory vacuum technique, coupled with adsorption phenomena and gas chromatography. Laboratory of thermochemistry and calorimetry (using Differential Scanning Calorimetry). Participation in the research program "Catalysts Spectroscopy" (Katalysatorspektroskopie) Project coordinator Prof. Dr. E. Baumgatren Funded by DFG ( Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft). 2. Company: HAWART GmbH Tönisvorst (Germany) Working position: Director of the Research and Development sector Duration: 01.01.1982-01.06.1986 (4.5 years) The main objective of this work was the development of technology of batteries of energy in the form of latent heat This research project has been carried out in collaboration with the University of Düsseldorf (Prof. Dr. E. Baumgatren and Prof. Dr. R. Kniep) and with the participation of Dr. F. Reiter's of the Research Center ISPRA in Italy. The results of this work led to the development of new means of accumulating heat and vested with the Patent DE 3431978.
These instruments used especially in dynamic storage heaters in low temperatures and formed the basis for further research and development of other means of storage. Furthermore, the technical study and development of a storage heater conducted in accordance with the HAWART Company's technology (Patent EP 0079452). The overall research project Latent Heat Accumulator" of the HAWART Company won the first prize in the International Patent Exhibition in Hanover (1983). 3.
