Jun Yue

Jun Yue is an Associate Professor at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering, within the Green Chemical Reaction Engineering group. He holds roles such as Coordinator for the Chemical Engineering Traineeship and Member of the ENTEG board. His research focuses on process intensification, microreactors, and catalytic conversion of bio-based chemicals. He completed his PhD in Process Engineering at Université Savoie Mont Blanc (France) in 2008, followed by postdoctoral work at Eindhoven University of Technology (2009–2014).

His research group develops novel reactor concepts (e.g., microreactors, centrifugal devices) and nanostructured catalysts for sustainable chemical synthesis. Key topics include bio-based chemical production, multiphase reactors, and energy conversion. He has supervised numerous PhD and master's students, with active collaborations on projects like bio-based chemical synthesis and methane combustion in microreactors. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to affordable and clean energy (#7) and responsible consumption and production (#12).

Recent publications highlight advancements in microreactor hydrodynamics, catalytic processes for furan derivatives, and biomass valorization. He teaches courses on transport phenomena, advanced process technologies, and microfluidics, contributing to both academic and applied research in chemical engineering.
