Background: Lammertink got his PhD in chemical engineering in Twente in 2000. After time as postdoc in Caltech, in 2004 became assistant Professor in Twente in the group of Membrane Technology. Since 2010 he became Chair of the Soft matter, Fluidics and Interfaces group. The research focuses on interfacial aspects in relation to mass and heat transport. These studies promote the fundamental understanding of transport phenomena near interfaces that are important for membrane and catalytic processes.
