Ir. Wouter Ducheyne
Wouter graduated from the University of Leuven as Master in Chemical Engineering in 1997.
He has since built up seventeen years of professional experience in the chemical industry. Predominantly active in engineering and operations, he evolved from process engineer, project engineer, project manager (PMP) over director chapter liaison and production manager to coach and member of the PMI board of directors at a renowned industry reference.
Driven by his passion to turn ideas into practical applications, he started in 2010 to develop the new and patented technology to create industrial energy from waste heat. Wouter transferred the technology to Caloritum, which he founded in 2012.
Together with prof. dr. Chris Stevens (Ugent) he won the Emerging Technologies Competion 2015 of the Royal Society of Chemistry. |

Ir. Jan-Aiso Lycklama à Nijeholt
Jan-Aiso Lycklama à Nijeholt graduated at the Heat & Fluid dynamics section of the mechanical engineering department at University of Twente in 1995. He started working as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) researcher and project manager at the nuclear department of ECN until 2010. ECN (Energy research Centre of the Netherlands) is an international leader in energy innovation. Starting from 2010 he joined the thermal systems group at ECN as project manager for several national projects on the development of the thermoacoustic heat pump (TAHP). In these projects industrial end users, technology providers, and universities worked together on the further scale-up of the TAHP. |

Ing. Bruno VanslambrouckBruno Vanslambrouck graduated in 1981 as a Master in Industrial Sciences and joined Howest in 1986. In October 2013 his department integrated into Ghent University.
He obtained a strong experience within the power generation sector (SPE Diesel power station Harelbeke). With this experience he was able to study and to realize a 288 kWe/478 kWth cogeneration unit, equipped with a didactical measurement system, built in 1995 and still in working order.
Besides teaching several energy related courses, he’s initiating, coordinating or participating in multiple research projects, focused on waste heat valorization. So he’s a frequently asked speaker on external courses, seminars or conferences on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), cogeneration and industrial heat pumps.
He was also the organizer of the ORC symposium at Howest in May 2009, the International Symposium on Advanced waste heat valorization technologies in September 2012 and the International Symposium on From waste heat to process heat in May 2014. |

Dr.-Ing. Thomas Ziegler Thomas Ziegler graduated in Energy Technologies and Power Plant Engineering at the Technical University of Munich in 1992. He obtained his doctoral degree from the Technical University of Dresden in 1999. The dissertation involved modelling and simulation of solar assisted drying of bulk grain. Since 2007, his main research interest at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering (ATB) revolves around investigating heat pump assisted drying processes. The work comprises model-based analysis and optimization of various designs and control strategies for batch-type as well as continuous dryers to ensure energy efficiency and product quality (www.atb-potsdam.de/drying). The close cooperation with industrial partners plays a crucial role in ensuring the practicability of the research.
