Research Interests

Our group works with process intensification of separation and reaction processes. We will achieve this by scaling up and implementing new materials, shaping/formulating them into new shapes, or designing a new process configuration.

The group has a strong focus on process modeling and the digitalization of production systems. We also work on implementing new solutions based on advanced geometrical configurations manufactured by 3D printing. 

Our main objective is to design sustainable and affordable pathways to produce chemicals and pharmaceutical components.
