Guy B. Marin is professor emeritus of chemical engineering at Ghent University, Belgium. He is a founding member of the Laboratory for Chemical Technology (LCT) [2] and the Center of Sustainable Chemistry (CSC) [3] at Ghent University. Prior to that, he taught at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry of Eindhoven University of Technology. His research on chemical kinetics and chemical reaction engineering led in 2015 to a spinoff company[4]. In that year, he was also elected as a member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts[5]. He co-authored two books, “Kinetics of Chemical Reactions: Decoding Complexity” [6] and “Advanced Data Analysis and Modelling in Chemical Engineering” [7].
He co-authored more than 700 papers in high-impact journals[8] and is a co-inventor in 6 filed patents [9][10]. He is co-editor of the “Chemical Engineering Journal” [11] and member of the editorial board of “Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering” [12]. He has ample experience as a member of International Scientific Advisory Boards, e.g., the Conseil Scientifique of the CEA [13] and is “Master” of the 111 project of the Chinese Government for overseas collaborations in his field. His ERC Advanced grant on “Multiscale Analysis and Design for Process Intensification and Innovation” [14] paved the way towards transdisciplinary collaborations in the context of the transition from a linear to a circular economy.
Research
The development of multi-scale models of the relevant reactions and reactors with emphasis on the interaction between complex chemical kinetics and complex transport phenomena has been a common theme of his research, as well as combining a first principles approach with experimental validation whenever possible[15].
His kinetic studies have been based on the involved elementary steps with, as much as possible, an ab initio calculation of the rate coefficients. When combined with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to account for transport of mass, energy, and momentum, they aimed at the development of novel reactor technologies [16][17] at the scale-up and optimization of established ones.
