Aloysius G.J. van der Ham

Aloysius G.J. van der Ham is a Lecturer in Sustainable Process Technology, focusing on chemical engineering and sustainable chemistry. His research bridges fundamental thermodynamics with industrial applications, particularly in renewable energy integration and resource-efficient processes.

Research Focus: Dr. van der Ham investigates sustainable chemical transformations, including electrified hydrocarbon production, hydrogen storage via liquid organic carriers, ionic liquid-based metal extraction, and carbon capture optimization. His work emphasizes:

• Electrification of industrial processes (ethylene/propylene production)
• Advanced membrane reactor designs
• Economic feasibility of renewable technologies
• Thermodynamic modeling of separation systems

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2023-2025) demonstrate a consistent focus on decarbonizing chemical manufacturing through electrification, membrane-assisted reactions, and circular resource recovery. Key themes include techno-economic analysis of sustainable processes and thermodynamic optimization for energy systems.

Supervision: He has guided 5 research projects, though specific student names or grant details are unavailable in this profile.
