About the trainer
Stijn Schaltin graduated from KU Leuven as a Materials Engineer. With a grant from IWT-Flanders, he obtained a PhD on the study of electroplating and electrochemistry from non-aqueous environments such as ionic liquids: a special type of molten salts. These topics were further explored during a three-year postdoc in combination with research on redox-flow batteries and Li-O2 batteries. Since 2015, Stijn is working for TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium as a failure analyst. He also teaches the section of Surface Protection & Degradation in the course Surface Science and Engineering at KU Leuven.
