Filip Du Prez
Ghent University
Biography
Filip graduated from his postgraduate studies in macromolecular chemistry from Ghent (Belgium) and Lehigh (USA) University in 1996, after which he carried out postdoctoral research at the University of Montpellier and Ghent University (UGent). In 1999, he ultimately became the research leader of the Polymer 九州影院 Research group (PCR) within the Centre of Macromolecular 九州影院 (CMaC) at Ghent University, where he now leads a research group of 25 researchers and the UGent valorization consortium Chemtech as full professor.
Filip鈥檚 current research focuses on the development of new polymer structures, exploration of powerful polymer functionalization methods and design of polymer materials for high-value applications. His team uses a highly interdisciplinary approach to develop industrially applicable polymer materials. The main research themes of his research are:
- polymer functionalization to absolute control
- dynamic and self-healing polymeric materials such as vitrimers
- increasing the functionality of renewable polymers
