Reactive Flows and Diagnostics

Welcome to the website of the Institute of Reactive Flows and Diagnostics of the department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Darmstadt

Prof. Andreas Dreizler,
Head of RSM

We investigate the foundations for the clean energy converters of tomorrow. For this, we apply cutting-edge laser diagnostics to look into the physics and chemistry of engineering applications. Our ultimate goal is to increase the efficiency of technical systems while minimizing pollutant emissions.
