Dr. Frank Peters

Biography

Frank Peters is an Associate Professor in the Multiscale Modelling group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His primary research focus is on the development of advanced reactor models for multiphase reactors with industrial relevance. He investigates in detail the flow of complex materials, such as viscoelastic immiscible mixtures and porous media. An important aspect of his research involves the interplay of hydrodynamics, mass and heat transfer in catalytic fluid-solid systems, particularly in packed and fluidized beds. He has extensive expertise in simulation of transport phenomena using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and mesoscale modelling. His work also encompasses the modelling and simulation of polymeric materials along with molecular and coarse-grained simulation methodologies, as well as (non-equilibrium) thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Frank's modelling approach reflects a strong emphasis on making appropriate assumptions to yield accurate predictive models, showcasing his profound understanding of the phenomena involved.
