Hans Kuipers leads the research group on Multiscale Modelling of Multiphase Flows at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research focuses on developing accurate models for new chemical reactors in the process industry using advanced computer simulations, thereby facilitating large-scale production of synthetic fuels, fertilizers, laundry soaps, and polymers. His group has made significant contributions to the fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering, emphasizing the development of advanced reactor models with industrial relevance, particularly in multiphase reactors. Recent studies involve understanding the hydrodynamics that pose challenges in the design and scale-up of such reactors, utilizing various computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, mainly based on proprietary codes. Kuipers is also interested in the non-invasive monitoring of multiphase flows and the development of experimental techniques like Digital Particle Image Velocimetry to measure key quantities such as local volume fractions and velocities of dispersed phases in real-time. He has a distinguished academic background, having studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Twente and earning his PhD in 1990.
