Kristof Marcoen

Kristof has been part of the SURF group since August 2015. He obtained his PhD in engineering sciences in January 2020. Kristof is an expert in surface and interface analysis, depth profiling, ToF-SIMS, XPS and HAXPES. Organosilane coatings and leaching lithium salt corrosion inhibitors are two systems that he studied extensively during his PhD.

Since 2015, Kristof has built up a unique expertise in characterization on a wide range of materials: from battery materials and corrosion protection coatings to zeolitic metal-organic frameworks for sensor applications. Kristof is also strongly motivated and involved in teaching our chemistry courses to the bachelor students in engineering.
