Maike W. Baltussen

Maike W. Baltussen is Assistant Professor in the Multiscale Modelling of Multiphase Flows group at Eindhoven University of Technology. Her research develops advanced reactor models for industrial multiphase reactors, focusing on hydrodynamics and heat/mass transfer. She specializes in gas-liquid, gas-solid and gas-liquid-solid systems using multi-scale modelling from DNS to phenomenological approaches.

Academic background includes MSc in Chemical Engineering (cum laude) and Nanotechnology from University of Twente, with PhD from TU/e on 'Bubbles on the cutting edge: direct numerical simulations of gas-liquid-solid three-phase flows'. Current projects include CFD-DEM simulations of clustering behavior, droplet collisions, and trickle bed reactors. She teaches Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics and Advanced Numerical Methods.
