Prof. V. Cnudde received a PhD in Geology in 2005 (Ghent University, Belgium) where she has been a professor since 2010. She is team leader of PProGRess (www.pprogress.ugent.be), the Pore-scale Processes in Geomaterials Research group (Dept. of Geology, UGent) and is one of the coordinators of the Ghent University Expertise Centre for X-ray Tomography (UGCT).
She was one of the co-founders of the UGCT spin-off company Inside Matters, which later merged with the spin-off company XRE, now part of TESCAN. She specializes in non-destructive imaging of geomaterials and has a strong expertise in real-time imaging of processes in the pore space.
Research projects which she has initiated are strongly linked to weathering and fluid flow processes of porous rocks. Prof. V. Cnudde has published more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles. She has been a member of the tomography proposal review committee at PSI (Switzerland) since 2012. Since 2019, she is holder of the chair “Porous media imaging techniques” at the Environmental Hydrogeology group at Utrecht University.
