PLENARY SPEAKERS Prof.

Mike Hounslow
Mike is a chemical engineer with BE and PhD degrees from the University of Adelaide in South Australia. He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. After completing the first of his degrees he worked for ICI Australia for four years in a variety of technical and management roles before taking up a lectureship at Adelaide and commencing his Ph.D. In 1990 he moved to a lectureship at the University of Cambridge, becoming a Fellow and then Dean of Selwyn College. In 1998 he moved to Sheffield and became Professor of Chemical Engineering, serving as Head of Department from 2000-2008. Since 2008 he has been Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Head of the Faculty of Engineering. Sheffield's Engineering Faculty is one of the largest in the UK and ranks only behind Imperial College and Cambridge in research income. Mike's research is in the general area of particle technology and he has published extensively on industrial crystallization, granulation (particularly as it applies to the pharmaceutical industry) and on various forms of computer modelling. The engineering of particles lies at the heart of most industrial chemical processes and nearly all pharmaceutical processes, yet is very much less well understood than the processing of fluids. In seeking to address that gap in knowledge, Mike has published well over 100 papers and supervised more than 30 PhD students.

Prof. Stefan Palzer


Stefan is currently the Global R&D Director for Beverages for Nestl, based at the Nestl S.A. corporate headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland. In this role, he manages the global I&R program of Nestl's beverage division (incl. powdered and "ready to drink" coffee, coffee mixes, coffee & tea enhancer, tea and juices). He is a process engineer with Diploma, Masters and PhD degrees from the Technical University of Munich, Germany. He also has a Habilitation from the same university in the field of Agglomeration of Food Powders and holds a MBA in Economics from the University of Hagen, Germany. Upon the completion of his PhD Stefan worked for Nestl in various R&D roles. From 2000-2003 he was Project Manager for dehydrated culinary products while from 2003-2005 he also held the position of Team leader in the same area. In 2006 he became Manager of the Technology Group at Nestls Product Technology Centre in Singen, Germany where he was responsible for global development of processes and ingredients for Nestl food products and all food related external research collaborations. In 2007 he took on the role of Head of Food Science where he was responsible for a team of 120 researchers working at in the Food Science and Technology department at the Nestl

Research Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland. In the mean time he was also appointed head of Nestles Food Science expert networks comprising of 400 experts globally. In 2010, Stefan was appointed managing director of Nestls global Product Technology Centre for confectionery in York, UK (PTC York, ~170-200 staff). In this function he was responsible for all product and process development for Nestls global confectionery business. In 2010 he was also appointed Assistant Vice President R&D at Nestl. Stefan has been a Visiting Professor at the University of Sheffield Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering since 2009. He is a guest lecturer in the area of Particle Science and Food Engineering.

Prof. Hans Kuipers


Hans Kuipers graduated in 1985 at the department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Twente. In December of the same year he started with his Ph.D. study at the Reaction Engineering group of University of Twente on detailed micro balance modeling of gas-fluidized beds. In June 1990 he received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering and was appointed as assistant professor in the Reaction Engineering group headed by Prof. W.P.M. van Swaaij. In 1994 he was appointed as associate professor in the same group. In 1999 he became fulltime professor in Fundamentals of Chemical Reaction Engineering at the University of Twente. Since August 2010 he is a fulltime professor at Eindhoven University of Technology and heads the group Multiphase Reactors. He teaches amongst others introductory and advanced courses on transport phenomena and multiphase reactors. His research interests are in the area of multiphase reactors.
