Degree offered: Doctor in de Toegepaste Wetenschappen (Ph.D. in applied
                sciences)


Research interests: Modeling of electrochemical processes (e.g. plating
processes, corrosion, cathodic protection). Numerical solvers are developed,

tested and applied. Current density distributions, layer thickness
distributions, concentration distributions  are computed in reactors and
experimental set-ups. The models are based on the dilute solution theory
(convection, diffusion and migration) or on potential theory. They are gradually
improved by considering additional effects such as: natural convection,
temperature, gas evolution, etc.
