D
irk E. De Vos, born in Mechelen, Belgium in 1967, is currently a full professor and head of the Department of Microbial and Molecular Systems at KU Leuven in Belgium. After finishing a Ph.D. in Leuven with Prof. Pierre Jacobs on the inclusion of metal complexes in zeolites, he went to Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN, USA) and did postdoctoral research with Prof. Thomas Bein. His current research fields include organic catalysis with solids such as zeolites and oxides, nanoparticle catalysis in ionic liquids, metal−organic frameworks applied to catalysis and adsorption, and advanced microscopy techniques for catalyst characterization. Inge Geukens, born in 1986, received her master’s diploma in bioscience engineering in 2009 at KU Leuven. Currently, she is working toward her Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Dirk E. De Vos at the Center for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis (KU Leuven), specializing in nanoparticle catalysis in ionic liquids.
