Electrochemical and Surface Engineering (VUB-SURF)
https://www.surfgroup.be/
Research at the Electrochemical and Surface Engineering research group (SURF) deals with 'electrochemistry' and 'surfaces' and their interaction. The key research topics can be mapped into four overlapping themes:
  • corrosion technology;
  • electrochemical modelling;
  • electrochemical and surface processes;
  • multifunctional surfaces and new materials.


SURF's approach to deal with both fundamental and application driven aspects is one of combining experimental and modelling techniques. Experimental techniques are oriented towards surface and electrochemical characterisation. The group combines expertise in both electrochemical methods and in-situ and ex-situ surface analytical techniques. modelling in SURF's context means construction of models and developing numerical tools to handle the mathematics behind the models.

The marine research focuses on corrosion of offshore structures (foundations).
