After having worked 15 year in the research group DuEL (Sustainable Energy, Air & Water Technology), we now started our new research group A-PECS (Antwerp engineering, photoelectrochemistry and sensing). Together with my colleague-PIs, prof. Karolien De Wael, prof. Siegfried Denys, and prof. Tom Tytgat, our overall mission is to pioneer sustainable solutions for energy, environment & diagnostics. At A-PECS, our strategic vision extends beyond the laboratory, aiming to cultivate a portfolio of technologies rooted in responsible research, sustainability, and innovation. Many of our projects are interdisciplinary in nature and involve collaboration with scientists and industry in different fields. We focus on bridging the gap between the academic world, industry and society and are open for collaboration!

On May 2nd Laurens successfully defended his PhD entitled “CFD–Assisted Design of Fluidized Reactors for H2 Release from LOHC”. Congrats!

In FOTON, together with partners TNO, UHasselt, VUB, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, AZTEQ, DCL Corporation, IMEC, and Soltech, we will study a new generation of photo(electro)catalysts and (photo)electrolyzers for direct conversion of CO₂ into methanol.
This 4.8 M€ project is funded by the EU within the Interreg Flanders – Netherlands border program.
