Jeroen LauwaertJeroen Lauwaert is a tenure track assistant professor at the Industrial Catalysis and Adsorption Technology (INCAT) research group of Ghent University, Belgium. His main research interests are related to process intensification through engineering thrmodynamics and elementary kinetics aiming at applications ranging from biomass valorization to fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Lignin valorization, aldol reactions, esterifications, hydrodeoxygenations and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, are just a few of the processes he has been working on. His activities comprise a broad spectrum of fields, including heterogeneous catalyst synthesis and characterization, systematically assessing catalytic performances in terms of activity as well as stability, kinetic modelling, phase equilibria measurements, thermodynamic modelling, and separation design.
