Curriculum Vitae
Florian Lehmann started his studies in chemical engineering at the department of biochemical and chemical engineering of TU Dortmund University in October 2016. He received his bachelor’s degree in July 2020 at the chair for Chemical Reaction Engineering under supervision of Prof. Agar, where he developed a sensor for the non-invasive conversion tracking in capillary microreactors. After that, he proceeded with his master studies and graduated in December 2021 at the chair of Prof. Vogt working on the selective partial hydrogenation of polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters. In February 2022, he joined the chair of Industrial Chemistry as research associate, where he earned his Ph.D. in 2026. Since 2026, he is working in the Simplyfined project, focusing on scaling up the process developed there for the selective partial hydrogenation of polyunsaturated fatty acid derivatives.
