Prof. Arjan Houtepen
Full Professor
Arjan Houtepen is full professor in the Chemical Engineering department. His research group, called NCFun, studies the FUNdamental properties of semiconductor nanomaterials, develops FUNctional nanomaterials and has FUN in the process. To this end, the group combines synthesis, advanced spectroscopy and electrochemistry.
Since October 2024, Arjan has been scientific director of e-Refinery, the institute developing electrochemical conversion technology for the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels.
Academic background
Arjan (born 1979) received his PhD from Utrecht University in 2007, under supervision of prof. Daniel Vanmaekelbergh and prof. John Kelly. He then joined Delft University of Technology as tenure track assistant professor. In 2020 he was promoted to full professor of Colloidal Nanomaterials at TU Delft.
