Koenraad Van Reusel

Koenraad Van Reusel is a Lecturer affiliated with KU Leuven in Belgium, working within the Electa research division focused on electrical energy and systems. His primary location is at Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 in Leuven. As a visiting academic, he contributes expertise in industrial applications of electromagnetic technologies without permanent faculty status.

Research Focus: Van Reusel specializes in electromagnetic processing of materials and industrial electrification, with emphasis on sustainability applications. Key research themes include:

• Decarbonization of cement production through resistance and microwave heating (LEILAC/DESTINY projects)
• Magnetohydrodynamic control of liquid metals and meltpool dynamics
• Power quality analysis including surge voltage propagation and harmonic distortions
• Dielectric heating applications for industrial and agricultural processes
• Electroheat technology optimization for energy efficiency

Publication Trends: His recent works (2010-2024) demonstrate consistent focus on electromagnetic applications in industrial processes. Early research centered on magnetohydrodynamics and levitation melting, evolving toward sustainable industrial electrification and power quality in later years. Significant contributions appear in cement industry decarbonization through Horizon 2020 projects.
