研究领域

Catalysis plays an essential role in physiology, nature, and the production of chemicals and fuels. Research in my group is situated at the interface of chemistry and chemical engineering, and focuses on the design and application of new heterogeneous catalysts for the production of energy and chemicals. Typically, a combination of crosscutting techniques is utilised in order to prepare novel (improved) and highly selective materials for new (established) catalytic processes. In depth kinetic and mechanistic analysis of the synthesised catalysts is combined with in situ spectroscopic analysis and theoretical models of the catalytic active sites, with the aim of developing i) molecular-level structure-activity relationships, and subsequently ii) tailor-made heterogeneous catalysts that are more active and selective on a macroscopic scale. In general, our research is focused on the fields of selective oxidations - particularly with more sustainable oxidants such as H2O2 and O2 - and acid catalysis, with C1-building blocks, alkanes, and bio-renewable substrates representing the starting molecules of interest.
