Dr. Jochen Schmidt studied chemistry
at Friedrich Schiller University of Jena
(FSU). After his diploma, he joined the
Institute of Physical Chemistry of FSU,
where he investigated nanomaterials
with an emphasis on studies on
colloidal charge and size-effects in the
solubility behavior of nanoparticulate
metal oxides. At FSU he also obtained his doctoral
degree in physical chemistry prior to joining Institute
of Particle Technology (LFG, now: IPT) of FAU in 2008.
His research interests are in the formulation of par-
ticle systems for technical applications using an
interdisciplinary approach based on methods and
principles of particle technology, mechanical process
engineering, colloid and interface sciences and
material sciences. His main research activities are
devoted to formulation of disperse systems and
particle engineering with a focus on the development
of processes for production, functionalization and
characterization of powder systems for additive
manufacturing. His projects amongst others have
been part of collaborative research center 814
“Additive Manufacturing” at FAU and priority program
2122 “Materials for Additive Manufacturing“
