Surika van Wyk
Functie:
Medior Scientist Innovator

Contact me to collaborate with TNO on the development of thermochemical technologies for recycling and valorising complex waste streams, including plastics and textiles. I combine process development with modelling, machine learning and digitalisation to deliver efficient, scalable solutions for thermochemical recycling and waste valorisation.
Key publications:
- Development of a novel physics-informed machine learning model for advanced thermochemical waste conversion: wyk-2025-development.pdf
- Thermochemical valorisation of real post-consumer mixed textile waste
- Thermal cracking of polyolefin waste: Primary and secondary product formation as a function of gas phase residence time in bubbling fluidized bed: wyk-2026-thermal.pdf
