معرفی
J. Lange is an Honorary Professor in Chemical Biorefining at the University of Twente (Netherlands), with a part-time affiliation (1 day/week) via unpaid secondment since 2012. He is concurrently a full-time employee at Shell Global Solutions Int. B.V., where he served as Principal Science Expert for over 35 years, specializing in industrial catalytic processes for fuels/chemicals production.
Education includes a PhD in Chemistry from the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max Planck Gesellschaft (Berlin, 1987), a postdoc at Lehigh University (USA, 1988), and a Licencié en Sciences Chimiques from Université Notre-Dame de la Paix (Namur, Belgium, 1983).
Research focuses on catalytic conversion of fossil, renewable, and waste feedstocks into fuels/chemicals, with expertise in methane conversion, synthesis gas technologies, biomass liquefaction, and bio-oil processing. Spectroscopic analysis of catalysts and process engineering optimization are key technical competencies.
No specific scientific awards are listed. His advisory role includes guiding industrial R&D but no formal student advisees are mentioned. His work integrates fundamental catalysis research with large-scale process design and economic feasibility analysis.
