Biography

Thermochemical reaction engineering in general and in particular the transition from fossil to renewable resources are his main research interests. He is a former Fulbright Research Scholar of MIT. He directs the Pilot plant for steam cracking and pyrolysis. He is involved in on-line and off-line analysis of complex petrochemical and biochemical samples using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography. Direct experimental scale-up, detailed kinetic modeling, process modeling (Aspen, ProII), coke formation/fouling, and the role of additives belong among others to his expertise. Kevin Van Geem is involved in several courses in the Bachelor and the Master in Chemical Engineering (Ingenieursproject II, Bedrijfsproject, Sustainable Chemical Production Processes). He is member of the Laboratory for Chemical Technology of the Chemical Engineering Department of Ghent University
