Degree offered: Doctor in de Toegepaste Wetenschappen (Ph.D. in applied sciences)

Research interests: Modeling of electrochemical processes (e.g. plating processes, corrosion, cathodic protection). Numerical solvers are developed, tested and applied. Current density distributions, layer thickness distributions, concentration distributions are computed in reactors and experimental set-ups. The models are based on the dilute solution theory (convection, diffusion and migration) or on potential theory. They are gradually improved by considering additional effects such as: natural convection, temperature, gas evolution, etc.
