Jo Dewulf is a full professor at Ghent University, Department of Sustainable Organic Chemistry and Technology. He holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Bioscience Engineering. He focuses on resource consumption and efficiency analysis, mainly thermodynamic principles and life cycle thinking. He makes thorough analyses at the process, plant, and overall industrial system levels, based on life cycle thinking and thermodynamic principles to uncover opportunities for improvement (techniques: Exergy Analysis: EA; (Exergetic) Life Cycle Analysis: (E)LCA). Apart from methodological improvements, implementations and collaborations with industrial partners have been put into practice in three areas: fine chemicals and pharma, agro/bio/food, and secondary and primary raw materials. For his work, he obtained a prize from the Laureate of the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Belgium in 2008. Between 2013 and 2015, he worked as a senior scientist at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, focusing on the sustainable use of natural resources, including resource efficiency, criticality, and supply resilience.
