I am a PhD researcher working at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) located in Brussels, Belgium. As an engineer I always want to work on innovative and sustainable technologies. My PhD is one such opportunity as it deals with developing and validating a numerical simulation model of atmospheric corrosion process. The model is expected to predict the corrosion rate of metal exposed to any given environment and thus help in the better management of corrosion.
