Session: Honorary Session in Memory of Prof. Cor van den Bleek (Invited Talks)

In this session, we celebrate the life and work of Cor van den Bleek, who passed away in December 2023 at the age of 80. Cor spent much of his professional career at Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands), where he made notable contributions in the fields of chemical reactor engineering and particle technology. Many in this community will know him best for his highly original approach of applying chaos analysis to characterize fluidized bed hydrodynamics. This session will encompass several invited talks by former colleagues and friends of Cor, and discuss topics related to Cor’s oeuvre.
