Simon Kuhn obtained his PhD from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) and was a SNF postdoctoral fellow at MIT (US). Currently, he is a professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at KU Leuven. He was awarded starting and consolidator grants by the European Research Council for his work on intensified flow reactors for multiphase reaction systems and particle synthesis. His research interests lie in the characterization of transport processes in complex flows, scaling-up micro-chemical systems, and the design of novel flow reactors.
