H.P. Calis. In May 2006 he finished his master thesis at Universiteit Twente in the department Ontwikkeling en Ontwerp van Industriële Processen entitled ‘Determining kinetics and equilibrium constants for the synthesis of diphenyl carbonate from dimethyl carbonate and phenol’ under the supervision of dr. ir. Jens Haubrock.
After graduation in 2006 he joined Procede Group BV as a process engineer and from 2015 as a senior process engineer. He worked on several projects, including a/o the novel biofuel GTBE®, the novel desulphurization process Vitrisol®, VOC removal via adsorption, acid gas removal, novel alcohol-free beer production technology. The work included laboratory work, thermodynamic, kinetic and reactor modeling, process design, estimates and proposals, techno-economic evaluations, consulting, patent writing, project management. He was on secondment to Sasol Technology in Enschede from October 2006 till April 2008, to Norit in Enschede from May 2007 till October 2007 and to FrieslandCampina in Beilen from July 2010 till March 2011.

In 2011 he became project leader of the ISPT project OG-10-05 ‘Removal and recovery of sulphur components from natural gas’ which resulted in the present dissertation entitled ‘Development and design of the in-situ regeneration section of Vitrisol®, a novel, highly selective desulphurization process.’ In 2017 he assumed the position of CTO of the GTBE Company N.V.
