Jurriaan Peeters obtained his MSc. degree in Applied Physics at Delft University of Technology, after finishing his Master Thesis at Physics of Nuclear Reactors at the RID institute. Thereafter, he briefly worked as a CFD consultant for the Nuclear Research & Consultancy Group (Petten, NL) investigating the validity of various turbulence models in CFD with respect to nuclear equipment. Shortly thereafter, he opted to become a PhD-candidate at TU Delft with professors B.J. Boersma, T.H.J.J. van de Hagen, M. Rohde & R. Pecnik to study heat transfer in supercritical water reactors. He obtained his PhD in 2016. After a short post-doc with M. Rohde , he became a post-doc at the University of Southampton (UK) under professor N. Sandham, where he studied the effect of wall roughness on turbulent heat transfer. As of 2018, he became an assistant professor at TU Delft. Since then he added design of thermal equipment and heat pump cycles for the food- and paper industry as well as heat generation in electrolyzers to his portifolio. As of 2023, he is an associate professor and since 2025 he shifted his interests to advanced nuclear energy technology.
