dr. Sven van Vliet
Sven joined Hezelburcht as a Chemistry & Innovation grant specialist in February 2025. Prior to this, he studied chemistry and conducted his PhD research at the University of Groningen. During his PhD, he focused on developing new responsive materials driven by visible light. After his PhD, he worked as a researcher at the Danish Technical University with the aim of improving organic components for energy storage in next-generation batteries.
During my time in Denmark, my passion for sustainable chemistry and innovation continued to grow. I am convinced that chemistry will be at the basis of solving sustainability issues and will contribute to a future-proof society. It motivates me to have an impact on this through Hezelburcht! In my spare time, I like to do sports, go out for dinner or listen to an LP on my record player.
