Annemie Bogaerts (born 25 October 1971) [1] is a Belgian chemist known for her work in plasma chemistry, plasma-based green chemistry, which include amongst others CO2 conversion, CH4 conversion for H2 synthesis or the synthesis of hydrocarbons and N2 fixation as basis for fertilizer production, as well as for her work in plasma medicine for cancer treatment, and the use of laser ablation to sample chemicals and form plasmas. She is a full professor of chemistry at the University of Antwerp. [2]

Education and career

Bogaerts is originally from Wilrijk, a district of Antwerp. [3] She studied chemistry at the University of Antwerp, earning a master's degree there in 1993 and completing her Ph.D. in 1996. She remained at the University of Antwerp as a postdoctoral researcher, including some research stays abroad, until 2004, when she obtained a faculty position there. She has been a full professor since 2014. [1]

She is head of the research group PLASMANT, and co-founder of two spin-off companies, D-CRBN [4] and Optanic, based on the research of her group PLASMANT on using plasma technology for CO2 conversion and for dry reforming of methane, respectively.

Recognition

Bogaerts was elected to the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts in 2011, [5] and in the same year was also elected to the Academia Europaea. [6] She was Francqui Distinguished Research Professor (2013-2016) and is the recipient of a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant [7] (2019-2025) on plasma-based electrification of chemical reactions, with Gabriel Centi, Volker Hessel and Evgenii Rebrov.

A nonthermal plasma, cold plasma or non-equilibrium plasma is a plasma which is not in thermodynamic equilibrium, because the electron temperature is much hotter than the temperature of heavy species. As only electrons are thermalized, their Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution is very different from the ion velocity distribution. When one of the velocities of a species does not follow a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, the plasma is said to be non-Maxwellian.
