Benoit Scheid

Is a professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, where he got his PhD in
2004 on theoretical modelling of hydrodynamic instabilities. In 2005, he was awarded
the Ilya Prigogine Prize for his PhD dissertation on dissipative wave patterns. In 2007, he

got a postdoctoral research position at Harvard University, where he performed
research on glass processing in collaboration with Saint-Gobain. He landed an academic
position in 2011 at ULB from the National Foundation for Scientific Research (FNRS). His
research aims at improving the current expertise in interfacial dynamics and surface
rheology, and to make it unique in answering scientific and technological questions
applying to material processing and microfluidics, with potential impact in material,
pharmaceutical, chemical, biological and medical sciences.
