We are pleased to introduce one of the driving forces behind our cutting-edge research at CEST GmbH. Dr. Christian Pichler has a passion for researching innovative solutions in the field of electrochemical CO₂ reduction and redox flow batteries.

Academic background

Dr. Pichler laid the foundation for his career at TU Graz, where he honed his scientific skills and developed a deep understanding of materials science. After his time at TU Graz, he continued his career at the renowned Max Planck Institute in Mülheim, where he had the privilege to work with, in this field, the highly respected Professor Ferdi Schüth.

Research focus

During his doctoral studies at the Max Planck Institute, Dr. Pichler delved into the intricacies of heterogeneous catalysis and acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience that later proved invaluable in his research career. His postdoctoral years took him to the historic halls of Cambridge, where he broadened his horizons in electrochemistry.

Today, he is a key part of our team, leading a dynamic group focused on two groundbreaking research areas:

• CO₂ Reduction Catalysis: He and his team are dedicated to one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. In doing so, they are exploring novel electrochemical approaches to convert CO₂ into valuable products, providing an essential foundation for a sustainable future.
•  
• Redox-Flow-Batterien:

  In addition to CO₂ reduction, research into redox flow batteries is also at the forefront. These energy storage systems have the potential to revolutionize renewable energy integration and grid stability. In this regard, his team is leading the advancement of this technology.
  We invite you to contact Dr. Pichler and learn more about his work in these research areas.
  His dedication, expertise and commitment to scientific innovation are the driving forces behind our success.

  Stay tuned for more updates from our team and more insights into our ongoing projects.
