KHC is the Director of BSc Study Program (Chemistry & Chemical
Engineering). His research interests lie in process modelling and
process control and operation.
Research areas: B, D
RaG is Director and Co-founder of CAPEC. His research areas of
interest covers modelling (properties, process & product); molecularmixture
(product) design; process synthesis, design & analysis;
process-tools integration (PAT, sustainable design, intensification,
design-control); and, development of computer-aided systems. Some
of the currently active research topics are listed below:
• Modelling (chemical products, processes and their operations;
performance of products; properties of chemical systems)
• Synthesis, design and analysis of chemical products and their
sustainable processes (CAMD and CAFD)
• Development of methods for sustainable process design; for
process intensification; for integration of design-control; for
model-based product quality control
• Development of integrated computer-aided systems (ICAS, PAT,
SustainPro, Databases)
Applications in petrochemical, chemical, specialty chemical,
agrochemical, food and pharmaceutical industries
Research Areas (CAPEC): A, B, C, D, E, F
KVG’s research covers process modelling; process design/analysis;
process control, monitoring & operation; and, process integrationintensification.
KVG is a faculty member of the PROCESS center.
Currently active research topics are listed below.
• Process modelling, applied to fermentation, biocatalysis,
wastewater treatment, food production, pharmaceutical
production, biorefineries; focus on the use of systems of ODEs,
but increasingly also population balance models (PDEs) and
CFD.
• Parameter estimation and model analysis (e.g., sensitivity and
uncertainty analysis), i.e., linking process models to plant data
• Design of new reactor systems, including microbioreactors for
