Biography/ Background
Philip van Eyk is an Associate Professor and Associate Head of Learning and Teaching in the School of Chemical Engineering. His teaching interests include Process Design, Chemical Reactor Engineering, Heat and Mass Transfer, and Separation Process Engineering. Most recently Philip has led development of a new 4th year Chemical Engineering elective on Brewery Engineering. His research interests directly compliment his teaching and mostly involve the incorporation of core chemical engineering principles to novel uses of renewable energy outside of power generation, and production of sustainable chemicals and replacements for fossil fuels. Philip established the Microbrewery at Waite Campus in 2022 which is used for teaching process engineers about the beer brewing process. The small scale plant also is being used to perform research into the effects of ingredients and process variables on sensory aspects of the resultant beers, and providing a facility for development of recipes for industrial partners.
