On Thursday, October 16, Dr. Yi Ouyang, Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at the Laboratory for Chemical Technology (LCT), Ghent University, delivered his inaugural lecture titled "From Concept to Pilot: Vortex Reactor Technology for Next-Generation CO₂ Capture."

The event took place at the iGent site in Zwijnaarde and offered attendees a glimpse into Dr. Ouyang’s cutting-edge research, which combines computational fluid dynamics, experimental techniques, and process intensification to tackle global sustainability challenges.

Guests were invited to visit the lab before the lecture and enjoyed a warm reception afterward.

Dr. Ouyang’s multidisciplinary approach promises exciting developments in chemical reactor design and CO₂ capture technologies.
