The prize, endowed with \u20ac2.5 million, is considered Germany's most important research award. The DFG is honoring Hasse's outstanding scientific contributions in the field of reactive thermofluid dynamics \u2013 work that opens up new perspectives for a climate-neutral energy supply. Hasse develops mathematical models and numerical methods for high-resolution simulations of complex, reactive flows on supercomputers. His research combines thermofluid dynamics with materials science, chemistry, and high-performance computing, thus opening up scientific fields of innovation of great societal relevance. Research for the energy of tomorrow: A focus of his current work is on hydrogen and metals as climate-neutral energy carriers. Hasse was the first scientist to develop validated models for the structure of unstable hydrogen flames and uses them in large-scale simulations \u2013 including on Europe's first exascale supercomputer, \"JUPITER.\" The results provide important insights into safety aspects such as flame flashback and form a basis for future CO\u2082-free hydrogen gas turbines. Furthermore, Hasse leads the collaborative project \"Clean Circles,\" which explores metals as recyclable energy carriers. Another milestone is the ERC Advanced Grant \"A-STEAM,\" secured in 2024, which investigates the fundamentals of aluminum vapor reactions \u2013 a promising approach for the emission-free generation of high-temperature heat and hydrogen. Hasse has been a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Darmstadt since 2017. His career has taken him to institutions including RWTH Aachen University, the University of California, Davis, and the research and development department of the BMW Group. To date, he has successfully supervised dozens of doctoral candidates; many of his former colleagues are now professors themselves. TU Darmstadt President Professor Tanja Br\u00fchl congratulates: \u201cWith his research, Christian Hasse is opening up new territory for the world of tomorrow. His work is an inspiring example of scientific excellence and interdisciplinary collaboration.\u201d Vice President for Research Professor Matthias Oechsner emphasizes: \u201cThis prize recognizes his outstanding contributions to energy process engineering. We are proud to have him at TU Darmstadt.\u201d Significance of the Leibniz Prize: The Leibniz Prize has been awarded annually since 1986. For 2026, the German Research Foundation (DFG) selected ten laureates from 144 nominations. The prize money is available for further research without bureaucratic requirements. The award ceremony will take place in March 2026.

After studying at RWTH Aachen University and the University of California, Davis (USA), and completing his doctorate at RWTH Aachen University, his career path initially led him into industry \u2013 where he worked, among other things, as a research and development engineer at the BMW Group in Munich \u2013 and later back to fundamental university research at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. As one of the world's leading scientists in the field of reactive thermofluid dynamics, he can point to numerous high-profile publications, serves as an editor of renowned scientific journals, and is a member of professional societies and academic committees. His research has received several awards, most recently in 2024: The European Research Council (ERC) selected his project \"A-STEAM\" for funding with an Advanced Grant. Photo: TU Darmstadt"}
