About Me
I am a PhD candidate in chemical engineering. I finished my master degree at the University of Twente in 2018. I graduated on methanol synthesis in a novel condensing reactor.
After that I continued to pursue my academic career by starting a PhD in methane conversion to ethylene by pulsed compression technology.
