Filip Du Prez
Ghent University

Biography
Filip graduated from his postgraduate studies in macromolecular chemistry from Ghent (Belgium) and Lehigh (USA) University in 1996, after which he carried out postdoctoral research at 乐天堂app下载 University of Montpellier and Ghent University (UGent). In 1999, he ultimately became 乐天堂app下载 research leader of 乐天堂app下载 Polymer Chemistry Research group (PCR) within 乐天堂app下载 Centre of Macromolecular Chemistry (CMaC) at Ghent University, where he now leads a research group of 25 researchers and 乐天堂app下载 UGent valorization consortium Chemtech as full professor.
Filip鈥檚 current research focuses on 乐天堂app下载 development of new polymer structures, exploration of powerful polymer functionalization methods and design of polymer materials for high-value applications. His team uses a highly interdisciplinary approach to develop industrially applicable polymer materials. 乐天堂app下载 main research 乐天堂app下载mes of his research are:
- polymer functionalization to absolute control
- dynamic and self-healing polymeric materials such as vitrimers
- increasing 乐天堂app下载 functionality of renewable polymers
