Marc-Olivier Coppens is the Founding Director of the Centre for Nature-Inspired Engineering (CNIE) at University College London, where he also serves as Vice-Dean for Engineering (Interdisciplinarity, Innovation). He combines teaching with research work in chemical and process engineering. He has taught at a number of universities around the world: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI, Indiana, United States), Technische Universiteit Delft (Netherlands), University of California, Berkeley (California, United States) and, of course, University College London. Led by Prof. Coppens, the CNIE is a research centre that crosses disciplinary boundaries, solving classical chemical engineering problems in, for example, catalysis or fluidized beds, as well as issues in immunotherapy, water recovery or fuel cells.
