UCL Department of Chemical Engineering

The Department is pleased to welcome Prof Marc-Olivier Coppens as the new Head of Department and Ramsay Memorial Professor of Chemical Engineering.

Marc-Olivier Coppens has previously held academic positions in the Netherlands (TU Delft) and the U.S.A. (Rensselaer). He has received many awards and has been a Distinguished Visiting Professor in China and at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. 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, inspired by efficient biological systems. He is involved in many international collaborations in the U.S.A., Europe, Japan and China, published widely, and has given over one hundred invited lectures worldwide.

We hope that his association with the Department is long and fruitful.
