I'm associate professor and postdoctoral researcher at the Chemical and Biochemical Process Technology and Control (BioTeC) Section, Department of Chemical Engineering.
My main research interests are situated in the domain of industrial biotechnology, particularly focussing on metabolic flux analysis and modelling of industrially relevant micro-organisms. Current projects study Streptomyces lividans producing heterologous proteins.
Furthermore, I co-supervise a phd on the application of individual-based modeling to explore microbial dynamics in complex situations (e.g., structured foods) and to infer macroscopic dynamics from microscopic microbial phenomena, and vice versa.

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
