PhD Candidate

About Me

In 2014, I obtained my bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering from North-West University (Potchefstroom, South Africa). Thereafter, I enrolled as a Master’s student to study the fractionation of an acidic hydrolysate from steam treated wood using pervaporation membranes.

After completing my Master’s thesis in 2016, I started working as a Chemical Process Engineer in Training (2017-2018) and later as a Process Engineer in the Pulp and Paper Industry. During this time, I provided process and technical support to the Production Department and worked closely with the Research and Development team. I was also involved in the conceptualization, design, automation and commissioning phases of various projects.

I moved to the Netherlands in July 2022 and started working as a PhD candidate within the Membrane Surface Science Group (MSuS) and the MnF group (part of the department of Molecules and Materials) at the University of Twente.
