Jan Diepens

Jan Diepens is a Researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology specializing in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications for indoor air quality and pandemic response. He actively contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through projects like Programma Pandemische Paraatheid en Ventilatie (2022-2025) and CLAIRE LSHM22032 - Clean Air For Everyone (2022-2026), focusing on aerosol dispersion control in buildings.

His research centers on Computational Fluid Dynamics, Air Quality Engineering, and Indoor Environmental Systems, with emphasis on ventilation optimization, air cleaner efficacy, and aerosol particle behavior in sports facilities, gyms, and experimental chambers. Recent work demonstrates practical solutions for pandemic-safe indoor spaces through CFD modeling and laboratory validation.

Analysis of 2021-2024 publications reveals strong thematic focus on pandemic-responsive building design, particularly CFD-aided ventilation strategies and portable air cleaner testing. Key trends include quantification of aerosol removal efficiency in gyms, experimental validation of airflow dynamics, and development of performance metrics for infection-risk mitigation technologies.

Diepens has supervised 12 research projects and secured funding through major initiatives including Reliable Accelerated Powergeneration for Industrial Deployment (MOOI20FO87U, 2020-2024) and Towards safe indoor sports events during pandemics (LSHM20077, 2020-2022). His collaborative network spans engineering, public health, and building physics disciplines across multiple European institutions.
