Dr. Ivo Roghair

Biography

Ivo Roghair is an Assistant Professor in the Chemical Process Intensification research group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research focuses on computational modeling of novel intensified reactor concepts, membrane reactors, chemical looping processes, bubbly flows, and heat integration. He is involved in the development of numerical tools including 1D reactor models and 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based models, and he collaborates closely with experimental validation methods, such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and dynamic image analysis (DIA). He contributes to the ECHO-STIP project which investigates redox kinetics of oxygen carriers in chemical looping processes. In addition, Roghair is involved in the design, scale-up, and operation of fluidized bed membrane reactors, tackling the interactions of chemically active particles and membranes. His work also encompasses the EU project 'Intensified-by-Design (IbD®)', where he investigates how inter-particle forces influence fluidization behavior at elevated temperatures using discrete particle simulations. His goal is to develop smarter, smaller, and more efficient models for complex processes in various applications.
