Prof. Dr. P.J. Gellings. After studying chemistry at the University of Leiden (the Netherlands),
Prof. Gellings received his degree in physical chemistry in 1952. Subsequently he
worked as research scientist in the Laboratory of Materials Research of Werkspoor N.V.
(Amsterdam, the Netherlands). He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Amsterdam
in 1963 on the basis of a dissertation titled: “Theoretical considerations on the kinetics
of electrode reactions.”
In 1964 Prof. Gellings was appointed professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Materials
Science at the University of Twente. His main research interests were coordination chemistry
and spectroscopy of transition metal compounds, corrosion and corrosion prevention, and
catalysis. In 1991 he received the Cavallaro Medal of the European Federation Corrosion for
his contributions to corrosion research. In 1992 he retired from his post at the University, but
has remained active as supervisor of graduate students in the field of high temperature
corrosion.
Dr. H.J.M. Bouwmeester. After studying chemistry at the University of Groningen (the
Netherlands), Dr. Bouwmeester received his degree in inorganic chemistry in 1982. He
received his Ph.D. degree at the same university on the basis of a dissertation titled: “Studies
in Intercalation Chemistry of Some Transition Metal Dichalcogenides.” For three years he
was involved with industrial research in the development of the ion sensitive field effect
transistor (ISFET) for medical application at Sentron V.O.F. in the Netherlands.
In 1988 Dr. Bouwmeester was appointed assistant professor at the University of Twente,
where he heads the research team on Dense Membranes and Defect Chemistry in the Laboratory
of Inorganic Materials Science. His research interests include defect chemistry, orderdisorder
phenomena, solid state thermodynamics and electrochemistry, ceramic surfaces and
interfaces, membranes, and catalysis. He is involved in several international projects in these
fields.
