Henk HuininkHendrik Pieter (Henk) Huinink is a physical chemist who graduated at the Wageningen University, The Netherlands (1998), with a PhD in soft matter physics. From 1998-1999 he was research associate at the Shell Research and Technology Center Amsterdam SRTCA), where he investigated the influence of confinement on the morphology of block copolymers. He joined the Applied Physics Department of the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) in 1999, where he started to work on modeling of transport in porous media and thin films. In those years he became more and more involved in NMR imaging studies on transport phenonema. In 2005 he became assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the group Transport in Permeable Media (TPM). He guides a group of about 5-7 PhD students doing experimental work on transport processes in porous materials and polymer films. He teaches several courses at BSc and MSc level: statistical physics, microfluidics and porous media. Recently, he has started to redirect his research activities towards the kinetics of charging and discharging heat storage materials. For that purpose he spent a sabbatical in 2015 at the Friederich-Alexander University (Erlangen, Germany), where he studied hydration transitions in inorganic crystals with molecular simulations.
