Short presentation

Frans van den Berg has an appreciable experience in data analysis, specifically the application of chemometrics, statistics and mathematics in (process) data collection, integration and interpretation/evaluation. After a basic training as laboratory technician he continued with a civil engineering education in Laboratory Information and Automation. This education was supplemented with a university degree in general chemistry and a PhD in Process Analytical Chemistry with main focus on systems/control theory. After his education he was hired as assistant professor at The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Denmark, and in 2004 as associate professor at the Department of Food Science, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, with specialty in Process Analytical Chemistry and Technology, and Chemometrics. The focus of his research is on measurements systems (primarily vibrational spectroscopy) for process monitoring and control, and on statistical and mathematical modelling of process-related data challenges
