Tom Vandevyvere defended his PhD thesis.


Recently, Tom Vandevyvere graduated 🎓 with his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering Technology focusing on the conversion of bio-derived model compounds into biofuels. However, some of his unpublished results during his 4 year academic journey are now accepted in the Applied Catalysis A journal. In this publication, the potential of (La-)NiCu catalysts was explored in the hydrodeoxygenation of 4-(2-furanyl)-3-buten-2-one to biofuels 🍀.
