Speakers
Prof. Dagmar R. D’hooge
Dagmar Rafael D’hooge (°1983) is the elected Chair for the Department "Materials, Textiles and Chemical Engineering" hosting > 300 employees.
His research emphasizes on the design of polymerization, polymer processing and polymer recycling. The functional material design and process intensification is performed up to industrial scale, using advanced in-house developed multi-scale modeling tools in combination with experimental validation. He uniquely performs research in chemical engineering, materials science, polymer science, and mechanics/rheology.
He teaches polymer engineering courses at the Faculty, covering e.g. polymer reaction engineering, technology, physics and processing.
Prof. Richard Hoogenboom
Prof. Richard Hoogenboom is heading the Supramolecular Chemistry (SC) group that was founded based on his appointment as associate professor in 2010 (full professor since 2014). He obtained a PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology under supervision of Prof. Ulrich S. Schubert and performed postdoctoral research with Prof. Martin Möller (RWTH Aachen) and Prof. Roeland Nolte (Radboud University Nijmegen).
Dr. Subin Damodaran
Dr. Subin Damodaran received his doctorate in chemistry from Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany in 2016. During his PhD he was actively characterising various finished and semi-finished polymer products using spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. Since 2016, he joined as Product specialist and an integral part of the GPC team of Tosoh Bioscience. He is currently working as Product Manager for GPC/SEC instruments, columns and detectors produced by Tosoh.
Lisa Jordan
Lisa holds a Master's degree in biology from Technical University Munich. In her various scientific projects in academia, she frequently used liquid chromatography methods as a tool to characterize parameters in bio-processes. In 2021, she joined Tosoh as Sales Specialist for the gel permeation chromatography product portfolio. Since then, Lisa supports her customers throughout their whole journey in polymer characterisation by GPC.
Ing. Frank Vanderstraeten [SerCoLab]
Frank Vanderstraeten graduated as an Industrial Engineer in Chemistry with an option in Biochemistry in '91 at KIH Oostende. After selling bulkchemicals and ingredients for food he sold spectroscopy instrumentation (UV-Vis, IR, AAS, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, HR-ICP-MS, and NMR) for Varian, then Thermo Fischer Scientific and Agilent. 8 Years ago he joined SerCoLab, specialised in custom made HPLC-solutions from Knauer and GPC- instrumentation from Tosoh Bioscience.
