David M.J. Smeulders

David M.J. Smeulders is a Full Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Department of Energy Technology, focusing on transport phenomena in porous media, gas dynamics, and renewable energy systems. His work spans from microscale interface processes (e.g., electrokinetic flows, membrane technology) to small-scale energy systems like hybrid PV/T and thermochemical biomass treatment.

• Academic Background: PhD in Physics (TU/e), MSc in Aerospace Engineering (Delft)
• Key Research Areas: Porous media transport, hydraulic fracturing, thermodynamics, acoustics
• Recent Article Trends: Energy quay walls, fracture mechanics, NMR cement studies, thermochemical storage, and machine learning in rarefied gas modeling

Scientific Awards:

• InterPore PoreLab Award (2021)
• NWO Veni Grant (2022)

Supervised 105 student theses and involved in projects like HeatScopy (phase change materials) and H2SMS (hydrogen storage). Collaborates with institutions in France, Israel, and China.
