Pieter Martens’ research is concerned with military architecture, engineering, urbanism, siege warfare and urban iconography in early modern Europe (1450-1700). His research has focused mainly on the Low Countries, within a European perspective.

This research focuses on the sustainable conversion of lignocellulosic biomass and organic waste streams into value-added biofuels and platform biochemicals through advanced chemical engineering approaches.

In this research, a novel generation of hybrid, structured porous materials will be developed. It aims at the intensification of energy-intensive separation processes such as carbon capture, gas drying, water harvesting.

This research project focuses on developing an efficient and sustainable biorefinery framework to convert biowaste (e.g., agricultural residues, food waste, lignocellulosic biomass) into advanced biofuels (bioethanol, biobutanol, biodiesel) and high-value biochemicals (organic acids, biopolymers)

This research project focuses on developing an efficient and sustainable adsorptive separation process for extracting arbutin—a high-value bioactive compound with applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and skincare—from pear leaves, an underutilized agricult

This research project aims to develop efficient, scalable, and cost-effective adsorption-based carbon capture systems for waste-to-energy (WtE) plants, addressing the urgent need to reduce CO₂ emissions while advancing circular carbon economy principles.
