Welcoming Anna Vanluchene

We are delighted to announce that Anna has returned to her alma mater, now in the role of Assistant Professor. Anna completed her Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering at UCTP. She then pursued a double Ph.D. between UPMC in Paris and UCTP, funded by the French government. Her doctoral research, completed in 2018, focused on the synthesis of compartmentalized microparticles for targeted drug delivery using microfluidic chips.

After her Ph.D., Anna took maternity leave and held a part-time position at the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals CAS, where she worked on photocatalysis in microflow reactors. In 2022, her project, ElectronsOnRun, which explores electrochemical fluorination under microflow conditions, was awarded a two-year Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship at Ghent University.

Starting in September, Anna will join our department as an Assistant Professor, where she will focus on leveraging chemical engineering for advancements in Green Chemistry, specifically photochemistry and flow chemistry in microreactors. We warmly welcome her back and wish her much success in her new role!
