Jouke Dykstra

Dr. Jouke Dykstra is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Technology at Wageningen University & Research. His research focuses on electrochemical and membrane-based water treatment technologies, particularly addressing ion and electron transport in porous media, desalination, and drinking water purification. He develops physics-based models to optimize processes like electrodialysis and capacitive deionization. Key interests include ion selectivity, PFAS removal, and membrane modification.

He is affiliated with the International Working Group on Capacitive Deionization and the Physics of Membrane Processes group. His teaching includes courses on environmental electrochemical engineering, colloid chemistry, and BSc thesis supervision. Current projects involve mechanistic studies of PFAS-adsorption interactions and desalination system optimization.

His expertise spans electrochemistry, surface chemistry, and process engineering, with applications in sustainable water management. Though no explicit awards are listed, his active role in academic committees highlights his contributions to the field.
