Bert F. Sels is currently head of a research group the Center for
Surface Chemistry and Catalysis at the KU Leuven, Belgium. He
obtained his PhD in 2000 at KU Leuven in the field of oxidation
chemistry with heterogeneous catalysis. He was awarded the DSM
Chemistry Award in 2000, and in 2005 the Incentive Award by the
Société Chimique Belge for his research achievements. In 2005 he
was appointed assistant professor at KU Leuven, and full professor
in 2012. He is co-chair of the Catalysis Commission of the
International Zeolite Association (IZA) and co-founder of European
Research Institute of Catalysis (ERIC).
Marcel Van de Voorde is special advisor at IMEC, Belgium. Recently,
his knowledge and 40 years' experience in university education,
research and management was honored with the gold medal of the
Fondation du Mérite Européen. He studied industrial and chemical
engineering and received his PhD in nuclear engineering from the
Nancy-Université, France. He was co-founder and professor at the
Hoger Instituut der Kempen, Geel, and the Technical Institute Don
Bosco, Hoboken in Belgium. He further holds professorships at the
Catholic University of Leuven, the Ghent University, the Delft
University of Technology and is visiting professor at several
recognized universities in Europe, US, Japan and China. He was
active as advisor to various institutions such as the CERN, the
European Commission and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State
Research.
