Processes Webinar | Advances in Multiscale Kinetic Modeling, 13 November 2025
Welcome message from the Chair:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to this webinar organized by Processes (ISSN: 2227-9717), which brings together leading experts in reaction kinetics and computational modeling. In the face of growing energy and environmental challenges, improving our understanding of chemical transformations—from catalyst design to the combustion of bio-derived molecules—is more critical than ever.
Today’s webinar highlights cutting-edge developments in multiscale kinetic modeling. Prof. Joris Thybaut will discuss recent innovations in catalyst and reactor design based on transient kinetic methodologies. Prof. Frédérique Battin-Leclerc will present experimental and modeling work on the combustion behavior of lignin-derived aromatics, such as guaiacol and phenol. Finally, Dr. Carine Michel will demonstrate how ab initio modeling, particularly DFT-based approaches, can support kinetic modelers by elucidating reaction mechanisms at the solid/liquid interface.
Together, these contributions will offer a comprehensive perspective—from theory to application—on how advanced modeling tools are enabling more sustainable and efficient chemical processes. I wish you a stimulating and engaging session.
