Dr.-ing. reihaneh Pashminehazarme

Reihaneh Pashminehazar is a research assistant at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and is working on the CARE-O-SENE project to characterise Fischer-Tropsch catalysts for the production of sustainable aviation fuels. Her work focuses on investigating structural changes in catalyst particles during operation and regeneration. To this end, she utilises modern X-ray imaging techniques, including laboratory micro-computed tomography and synchrotron-based tomography, combined with image processing and complementary characterisation methods. Within the CARE-O-SENE project, there is a particular focus on visualising wax distribution and removal within the catalyst particles, as well as on investigating structural changes during dewaxing and regeneration.

Position

Research Assistant

Company

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Areas of Expertise

Her expertise combines process engineering, catalyst characterisation, X-ray imaging and quantitative image analysis, with a focus on the following areas:

  • 3D X-ray micro- and nanotomography
  • Synchrotron-based imaging and in situ experiments
  • Image processing and ML-based segmentation
  • Catalyst morphology and regeneration
‘What fascinates me most is making the invisible visible – looking inside catalyst particles and understanding how they change during the reaction and regeneration.’

Dr. Muhammad Hamid Raza

Hamid is a postdoctoral scientist in the Thin‑Film Catalysts and Reactors Group at PVcomB, Helmholtz‑Zentrum Berlin (HZB). With more than ten years of experience in thin‑film process development—particularly in atomic layer deposition (ALD)—he currently focuses on designing and optimizing thin‑film catalysts for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, employing PECVD, ALD, and PVD technologies within the CARE‑O‑SENE project.

 Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin

Areas of Expertise

Hamid’s expertise spans thin‑film technologies for catalysis, chemical sensing, and nanoelectronics, with a strong focus on conformal thin‑film deposition on planar and high‑aspect‑ratio 3D structures using ALD and PE(CVD) to create advanced catalytic materials. He completed his doctoral research at Humboldt‑Universität zu Berlin, where he developed functionalized thin‑films heterostructures for energy and environmental applications, extensively employing ALD alongside conventional synthesis methods. He later worked as a postdoctoral scientist at the Institute of Functional Oxides for Energy‑Efficient IT at HZB.
