Research Group Electrochemical and Surface Engineering (SURF),
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)

The research group of Electrochemical and Surface Engineering studies controlled (electrolysis) and unintended (corrosion) electrochemical processes in conjunction with the development of processes to perform dedicated surface treatments as well as functional materials (self-healing). The unique combination of expertise in experimental and modeling techniques promotes a multidisciplinary research focus. A strong emphasis is being placed on the development and valorization of a real-time corrosion monitoring device .
