Reutlingen University’s Process Analysis & Technology (PA&T) Centre conducts
application-oriented, industry-focused research at the interface of materials science,
process analytics, and intelligent manufacturing. Its research focuses on the
development and application of advanced analytical and technological methods for
the characterization, monitoring and optimization of materials and processes. Key
areas include optical spectroscopy (UV/VIS, NIR, IR, Raman and fluorescence),
multivariate data analysis, hyperspectral and chemical imaging, polymer technology,
surface design and green process engineering. In close collaboration with industrial
partners, PA&T develops innovative solutions for efficient, sustainable and quality-
assured processes.
