Tutors

This Master's Program is a tutor-driven program. The aim of the tutor system is to help create an individualized curriculum for the student and to provide one-to-one support: it ensures a top-class, specialized education which takes into account the student's talents and expectations. Tutors coach their students throughout the program, monitoring their progress and proposing any necessary adjustments required to enhance their performance.

The tutor discusses the student's choice for Core Courses, advises in the choice of the Elective Courses, and approves the subject and the supervisor of the Semester Project and Master's Thesis thus ensuring that their individual requirements and interests can be followed.

Students of the Bachelor’s Program in Mechanical Engineering select their tutor at the start of their Master's study. The tutor for external students will be specified in the admission letter, according to the decision of the admission committee.

The individual study plan is defined in the DownloadLearning Agreement (PDF, 1 MB) on myStudies.

Tutoring is carried out by the following professors from the Institute of Energy and Process Engineering (IEPE):

Energy systems optimization, conceptual process design, life cycle assessment, computer-aided molecular design, thermodynamics, microfluidics, CO2 capture & utilization

Energy storage and conversion, Electrochemical interfaces, Materials and electrolyte design for energy applications, Fundamental processes in electrolyte solutions, Evolution of materials and electrode-electrolyte interfaces under applied potential

Note: Professor Mazzotti is currently not eligible as tutor.
