PROF. DR. RER .NAT. HABIL. CORNELIA BREITKOPF
Cornelia Breitkopf is full professor and Chair of Technical Thermodynamics
at the Technische Universität Dresden.
She studied chemistry at Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg
(Germany), where she received the Dipl.-Chem. degree and afterwards
the PhD in physical chemistry. The main aspects of these graduations had
been related to theoretical quantum-chemical calculations. After a postdoc
stay at the Birkbeck college/University of London, she joined the
Environmental Research Center in Leipzig, where she mainly dealt with
the impact of xenobiotics and their distribution in the environment
connected with a research stay in Peterborough/Canada. At the university
Leipzig she finished her habilitation in the field of technical chemistry. During this time, she
stayed for a few months at the University of Wisconsin dealing with microkinetic modeling. The
main aspects of the habilitation work have been the application of transient methods for
describing heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. The work was part of a priority program of DFG
with the title “Bridging gaps between ideal and real systems in catalysis”. After habilitation she
was Professor for Chemical Reaction Engineering in Leipzig and Freiberg. After that she moved
to TUM to work as senior scientist also in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Since 2010 she
is professor in Dresden.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Her main research interests are transient methods for the evaluation of transport and sorption
parameters of gases in porous media accompanied with the modeling of complex transport
phenomena, the theoretical determination of property data, the characterization of solid porous
materials, and modeling of silicon wafer structures. Since April 2014, she is coordinator for the
TUD as part of an EU project eRamp.
