He has an MSc in applied physics and a Ph D in chemical physics from University of Twente\, focusing on microsca le and mesoscale simulations of soft matter. After several postdocs in Cambridge (UK)\, Twente (NL) and Louvain-la-Neuve (BE)\, Johan got a tenured position at Eindhoven University of Technology in 2011 where h e shifted his attention to larger scale multiphase flows. He moved to Delft University of Technology in 2016. Currently\, Johan does researc h on multiphase flows\, mesoscale transport phenomena and heterogeneou s catalysis\, with applications in the fields of chemical conversions in fluidised beds\, spray drying\, crystallisation\, and chemical reac tor design\, including electrochemical conversion.  \; Title: Mode lling multiphase flow equipment for a sustainable future The energy tr ansition requires development of new conversion and separation equipme nt. The design and scale-up of such equipment requires fast models tha t can predict hydrodynamics\, heat- and mass transfer\, chemical conve rsion and phase transitions\, usually in multi-phase systems. Unfortun ately\, these phenomena depend sensitively on small-scale events such as surface reactions or collisions between particles or droplets. It i s therefore necessary to employ a multiscale modelling approach in whi ch correlations are extracted from detailed small-scale models and fed into larger-scale models. In this talk I will give some examples from our group\, highlighting our work on fluidised beds containing elonga ted particles and on electrochemical reactors for CO2 conversion.
