Kevin Van Geem is full professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University (UGent). He is director of the Center of Sustainable Chemistry and director of the board of the Laboratory for Chemical Technology of Ghent University. Thermochemical reaction engineering in general and in particular the transition from fossil to alternative resources are his main research interests. He is a former Fulbright Research Scholar of MIT and directs the Pilot plant for steam cracking and pyrolysis. He is the author of more than two hundred scientific publications and has recently started his own spin-off company. He is involved in machine learning & data mining for chemical analysis, product formulation, drug discover, scale-up and process modeling. He applies AI to petrochemical, pharmaceutical and process intensification.
