In a collaborative effort between the Institute for Energy and Materials Processes- Reactive Fluids (EMPI-RF) and the institute for Product Engineering- Manufacturing Technology, we have developed and demonstrated a novel in situ method to monitor the thermal history during laser-based powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) of metals.

Aydan Akyıldız Mert, a member of EMPI-RF research group and of the International Max Planck Research School on Reactive Structure Analysis for Chemical Reactions (IMPRS-RECHARGE), played an active role in the organizing team of the 2nd ACAMEC Conference (Advanced Catalysis and Materials for Energy Conversion), which was successfully held from March 26–28, 2025, under the IMPRS-RECHARGE umbrella.

Felix Ebertz and colleagues from the Institute for Energy and Materials Processes-Reactive Fluids (EMPI-RF) group at the University of Duisburg-Essen have introduced a novel laser-optical in situ method that enables real-time detection and distinction of gas-borne hetero-aggregates based on a model material system

The latest version of our open‐source MATLAB‐based spectroscopy simulation tool for laser-induced fluorescence of diatomic molecules. LIFSim simulates absorption, excitation, and emission spectra, featuring tools for multi-line LIF thermometry for both pointwise and imaging measurements.
