Biography
Maarten B. J. Roeffaers graduated from the Centre for Surface ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº and Catalysis, KU Leuven (Belgium), in 2008 studying zeolite catalysis with fluorescence microscopy. After a postdoctoral stay (2009–2010) with Prof. Xie at Harvard University (USA) on the development and use of coherent Raman microscopy, he returned to the KU Leuven.
In 2010, he started his own research group () focusing on the development of optical microscopy tools to study heterogeneous catalysis and materials for sustainable chemistry. Amongst others, he was awarded a prestigious ERC starting grant (2012) and received the biennial ExxonMobil Chemical European Science and Engineering Award (2015).
