Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM)
Michael Maiwald, born in 1967, is head of the division Process Analytical Technology at Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Berlin, Germany.
He is physico-chemist who in 1994 graduated from Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, where he also received his doctorate. Subsequently, he headed a working group for online NMR spectroscopy at the Institute of Thermodynamics and Thermal Process Engineering ITT at the University of Stuttgart and was research associate and group leader at central services analytics at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, until he was appointed head of the department “Process Analytical Technology” at BAM in 2008. In 2012 his post-doctoral lecturing qualification followed at Technical University Kaiserslautern, Germany.
Leitmotif
A long journey begins with the first step.
Activities
He works actively in different industrial, scientific, and standardization working groups such as of DIN and DKE, IEC and NAMUR as well as of GDCh and DECHEMA.
Focus
His research activities are in the field of quantitative online NMR spectroscopy, other analytical online methods, chemometrics, and sensor automation concepts.

Green chemistry: BAM investigates pharmaceutical production without solvents and CO₂ emissions
The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) is developing a more sustainable process to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients in a major EU project: The pilot project is intended to demonstrate the advantages of mechanochemistry for more environmentally friendly and CO2-n ... more
A novel path for sustainable photon upconversion with non-precious metals
Sustainable chemical applications need to be able to employ renewable energy sources, renewable raw materials, and earth-abundant elements. However, to date many techniques have only been possible with the use of expensive precious metals or rare earth metals, the extraction of which can ha ... more
How good is the measurement method?
The causes of accidents can be diverse, whether it is an explosion in a chemical plant or a fire on a dangerous goods freighter. Prevention starts in the laboratory where chemicals are tested for their hazardous properties. Safety experts, haulage contractors or traders must be able to rely ... more
On the way to the cyber-physical lab
Laboratories tend to be central hubs for chemical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical or foodstuff production. They play a key role in research and development, chemical analysis, quality assurance, maintenance and process control. more
The internet of things in the lab and in process
It is a fact that much of the time spent on analytical laboratory instrumentation these days goes into system maintenance. Digital transformation could give us more time again for creativity and our actual laboratory work – if we shape it the right way. more
In today’s laboratories, elemental analysis methods are used for more than just determining total metal content in various sample matrices. They have become an important tool for life science research in environmental science, medicine and biology. more
Björn Meermann, born in 1982, studied chemistry at the University of Münster and obtained his doctorate in 2009 in the working group of Prof. Dr. Uwe Karst. This was followed by a postdoctoral period of almost two years at the University of Ghent (Belgium) in the working group of Prof. Dr. ... more
