Anne De Wit is Full Professor in the Chemistry Department of the Université libre de Bruxelles. After a PhD in 1993 on modelling reaction-diffusion patterns, she went as a postdoc to Stanford University (1993-1994) to perform research on simulations of transport and convective instabilities in porous media. Back to Brussels, she has developed a research group in which both experimental and theoretical work is performed in the field of chemohydrodynamics. Her objectives are to analyze and characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics and patterns that can develop when chemical reactions and hydrodynamic instabilities interplay, with applications in engineering, nonlinear science and environmental issues. She currently heads the Nonlinear Physical Chemistry Research Unit and is co-director of the "Service de Chimie Physique and Biologie Théorique" at the Université libre de Bruxelles.
