PROCESS TECHNOLOGY & COMPONENTS Editorial Advisory Board Editorial Advisory Board 2021 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eberhard Schlücker, Institute for ProcessTechnology and Machinery, University Erlangen-Nuremberg Head of the Editorial Advisory Board Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eberhard Schlücker was born in 1956 and studied mechanical engineering at the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences and Chemical Engineering at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg where he did his doctorate in 1993. His industrial activity comprised an apprenticeship as a mechanic, three years as a designing engineer, four years as head of the R&D department and five years as proxy in the Engineering division. Since the year 2000 he has been professor and has been holding the chair in “Process Machinery and System Engineering“ at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. His subject area includes layout and operation of systems, machines and plants for chemistry, water, food and biotechnological engineering as well as practical management. His research focus is on the pulsation problem and system dynamics in plants, the optimization and simulation of pumps, compressors and systems, the high-pressure component and process technology, the application of ionic fluids, the energetic optimization of systems and the research of wear processes. At the same time, he has been editor of magazines, member of several bodies and research associations, technical consultant for companies and lecturer in international training programs and since 2008 Vice Dean of the School of Engineering. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Brümmer, Head of Fluidics at Technical University Dortmund Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Brümmer, born in 1963, studied aerospace engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig where he received a doctorate at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics in the field of Flight of Birds. His industrial career started in 1997 as Head of Department for Fluid Dynamics at Kötter Consulting Engineers KG. There, he gained first experiences in the physical analysis and elimination of flow-induced vibrations in industrial plants. In 2005, he became Technical Director of the company. Since 2066, he has been professor and Head of Fluidics at the Technical University of Dortmund. His research foci included the theoretical and experimental analysis of screw-type machines, both in compressor applications (e. g. refrigeration compressors and air compressors, vacuum pumps) and in expander applications (e. g. waste heat utilization). Furthermore, he researches the interaction between unsteady pipe flow and gas flow meters. From 2008 to 2011, he was Vice Dean and Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Enginee ring and since 2012 he has been Senator at the Technical University of Dortmund. He is reviewer of several international journals, member of industrial advisory boards and scientific committees and scientific director of the VDI symposium “Screw-Type Machines”. Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Gerhart Hobusch, Project Engineer, KAESER KOMPRESSOREN SE, Coburg Gerhart Hobusch, born in 1964, studied mechanical engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Schweinfurt, Northern Bavaria. He graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering and completed postgraduate studies with a degree in industrial engineering. He has been working as a project engineer at KAESER KOMPRESSOREN SE, Coburg, since 1989. His responsibilities include the planning of compressed air stations, the development of economical, energy-saving concepts for compressed air stations and the worldwide training of KAESER project engineers. As part of his job, he has worked on research projects such as the “Compressed Air Efficiency” campaign, the EnEffAH joint project, as well as FOREnergy and Green Factory Bavaria, and is active in the VDMA's compressed air technology department. The standard compliant implementation of volume flow and power measurements on compressors, also in connection with China Energy Label efficiency requirements, as well as compressed air quality measurements according to ISO standards are also part of his tasks. In addition to the specialist lectures on compressed air technology held over the years, he is participating in the development of the KAESER blended learning concept with the design of e-learning courses and the implementation of online training courses. Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Johann Vetter, Head of Integrated Management Systems, NETZSCH Pumps & Systems GmbH, Waldkraiburg Johann Vetter, born in 1966, studied mechanical engineering at the Technical Colleage of Regensburg. His diploma thesis dealt with the topic “Filters and filter materials“ in Environmental and Process Engineering. Prior to his studies, Mr. Vetter had completed an apprenticeship as machine fitter and thus created a practical basis for his later activities in the automotive industry, where he worked for 16 years as a quality engineer, development engineer, project manager and department manager for airbag systems. Mr. Vetter has shown outstanding achievements in the field of “gas generators“, where he has applied for several patents. Since 2013, Mr. Vetter has been responsible for special projects mainly for the oil and gas industry at NETZSCH Pumps & Systems, where he took over the position of Quality Manager after 3 years. Since October 2019 he has been responsible for the areas of integrated management systems and is also a member of the Management Board of NETZSCH Pumps & Systems. Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Sebastian Oberbeck, Manager Research & Development Backing Pumps, Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH, Asslar Sebastian Oberbeck, born 1970, graduated at the University of Applied Sciences Mittelhessen in engineering and precision mechanics. His career startet as project engineer and later as project manager at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microsystems in Mainz developing mainly micro pumps, micro valves and microsystems (MEMS) in publically funded as well as in industry sponsored projects. From 1998 he was responsible for nano technically manufactured Pointprobe AFM sensors at Nanosensors GmbH in Wetzlar. In 1999 he became founding member and partner of the startup company CPC Cellular Chemistry Systems GmbH where he was responsible for developing micro chemical reaction systems in Laboratory and Pilot plant applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. 2004 he took the product management responsibility for automotive drive shaft components of Daimler Chrysler and Getrag at tier 1 supplier Selzer Fertigungstechnik GmbH in Driedorf. Since 2009 he is employed at Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH as R&D Manager for backing pumps and backing pump systems. 6 PROCESS TECHNOLOGY & COMPONENTS 2021
