Bio MARC-OLIVIER COPPENS is professor in chemical engineering at Rensselaer. He holds MSc (1993) and PhD (1996) degrees in chemical engineering from Univ. Ghent, Belgium, was visiting scholar at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (1996), and postdoctoral fellow at Yale (1996-1997) and UC Berkeley (1997-1998). He joined the TU Delft faculty in the Netherlands in 1998, was named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor in 2001, and Chair of Physical Chemistry and Molecular Thermodynamics, 2003â€“2006. His multidisciplinary research combines fundamental theoretical work with experiments, centering on nature-inspired chemical engineering, to design and build efficient chemical processes, porous catalysts and separation systems, guided by efficient biological systems. Awards include DSM Prize Laureate (1996), Young Chemist (2001) and PIONIER Awards (2002) from the Dutch National Foundation for Scientific Research (NWO) and a Visiting Professorship at National Tsinghua University, Taiwan (1998) and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (2008).
