Latest Patents

Hermans is associated with 2 patents.

“Device and method for circulating liquids” describes a device that uses a magnetic field to circulate liquids with different paramagnetic properties. In the circulating zone, one liquid surrounds the other, creating a liquid-liquid interface. The patent also describes a method for circulating a less-paramagnetic liquid within a device containing a more-paramagnetic liquid.

“Method for chiral resolution and device therefor” describes separating chiral species in a liquid using a cell with coaxial inner and outer walls. Rotating the outer wall relative to the inner wall generates Taylor-Couette flow, after which at least one chiral species is collected.

Career Highlights

Hermans’s work connects fluid dynamics and magnetic effects with practical approaches to liquid handling and separation. His listed organizational affiliations include the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Strasbourg.

Collaborations
