Prof. Véronique FALK graduated in chemical engineering at École Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques de Nancy – France (ENSIC) in 1991 and, the same year, completed her master's degree. Her PhD, received in 1995, was conducted in collaboration with Total Raffinage and focused on catalytic cracking, specifically investigating the dynamics of the downer reactor.  From 1996 to 2014 she joined ENSIC as an associate professor in chemical engineering where she taught chemical reaction engineering, mechanical unit operations, mass et heat transfer, process safety, chemical process design, chemical product design and powder technology. In spring 2008, she was invited by Prof. Ed Cussler at the University of Minnesota to further develop methodologies in chemical engineering and product design. Since 2014, she has served as a professor at Ecole Nationale Supérieure en Génie des Systèmes et de l’Innovation (ENSGSI - Université de Lorraine), assuming the role of deputy director in 2019. Her research at Laboratoire Réactions et Génie des Procédés (LRGP – CNRS) focuses on powder technology, encompassing powder rheology, mixing and segregation, wet granulation, powder compression, and the formulation of solid products employing product design methodology. The work carried there out is essentially experimental and many collaborations are conducted with companies in different fields (cosmetics, food, feed, materials, pharmacy, etc.).
