Guy B. Marin is professor emeritus of chemical engineering at the Ghent University, Belgium. He is founding member of the Laboratory for Chemical Technology (LCT)[3] and the Center of Sustainable Chemistry (CSC)[4] at Ghent University. Prior to that, he has been teaching 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.[5] He co-authored two books, Kinetics of Chemical Reactions: Decoding Complexity[6] and Advanced Data Analysis and Modelling in Chemical Engineering.[7]

He is co-editor of the Chemical Engineering Journal[8] and co-editor-in-chief of “Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering”.[9]

Research

[edit]

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 have been a common theme of his research as well as combining a first principles approach with experimental validation whenever possible.[2]

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 aim at the development of novel reactor technologies [10][11] and at the scale up and optimization of established ones.
