What is K-INN Lab?
K-INN Lab started out as a research group focused on reaction kinetics (hence our name: Kinetics INNovation Laboratory). Over the years, we built expertise in a variety of diverse fields, applying experimental and modeling approaches to thermal and chemical processes, often involving multiple phases, on different scales.
Learn more about our projectsWe created a companion spin-off company, K-INN Tech, to apply our science-driven approach to industrial scale applications, working as an outsourced R&D department for companies that aim at optimizing their processes.

MULTIDISCIPLINARITY
We are engineers (chemical, enviromental and energy ones), chemists and material scientist. Different backgrounds mean a wide array of skills
INDUSTRIAL PERSPECTIVE
We don’t just conduct academic research, we also have collaborations with industries, helping them with technology transfer and the optimization of their processes
SCIENTIFIC NETWORK
We collaborate with other research groups, exchanging with them ideas and know-how, thereby gaining access to different knowledge and resources to solve problems
FLEXIBILITY
We venture into different fields, gaining expertise along the way. This flexbility means we are always ready to tackle new challenges
