Dirk Roosendans obtained his master in safety engineering from VUB in 2008 and a PhD in engineering science in 2018. Since 2007, he has held various positions at Total and today he is head of the Process Safety Expertise & Integrity Management Department. For an engineer specialising in chemistry and materials, industrial plant safety and risk analysis are essential.
Dirk Roosendans can connect VUB with expertise on process safety and risk analysis. Moreover, the collaboration provides a connection with a global energy player that open doors for research valorisation. He already acts as a visiting professor for the chemistry and materials course, but is also of interest for wider engineering audiences.
