De Clercq & Partners welcomes Filip Van Lysebetten!

We are very happy to once again welcome some fresh blood to our team: yesterday Filip Van Lysebetten joined our Patent Department as a Patent Adviser and a trainee Patent Attorney.

Filip studied at Ghent University and majored in Chemistry. He received his Master's degree in 2019 after successfully completing a thesis in the field of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry. He continued his scientific career in Ghent with an FWO-funded PhD project, inspired by themes such as sustainability, polymer processing, and chemical reactivity. More specifically, he aimed to reprocess thermoset materials with applications in adhesives and composites under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Filip Du Prez and Prof. Dr. Johan Winne. This work resulted in several publications in prestigious journals as well as two patent applications.

Welcome to the team, Filip! We look forward to this promising collaboration.
