个人简介

Arjan W. Kleij was born in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) in 1971. He received his MSc (honors, 1996) and PhD (cum laude, 2000) in Chemistry from the University of Utrecht working in the group of Prof. Gerard van Koten on the application of dendrimer- and hyperbranched polymer-supported homogeneous catalyst structures. In his PhD period, he spent a short internship at the Universität Freiburg (Prof. Holger Frey). In 2000, he moved to industry expanding his research experience and worked for more than 3 years at Avantium as a project leader in its pharmaceutical branch (biopolymer synthesis), and at a later stage of his career (2005) at Hexion Specialty Chemicals as a research scientist in the Epoxy & Phenolic Resins Division (EPRD) focusing on process optimization of chemical intermediates for coating applications. He joined the group of Prof. Javier de Mendoza (UAM, Madrid, Spain) as a postdoctoral fellow in 2002, and continued postdoctoral work with Prof. Joost Reek and Prof. Piet van Leeuwen at the University of Amsterdam (2003-2005, The Netherlands) in the field of supramolecular chemistry & catalysis. He received a TALENT fellowship from NWO (The Netherlands) in 2000, and in October 2006 he was offered a position as Group Leader at ICIQ and joined ICREA as a junior fellow, where he was promoted to ICREA professor in 2011.Recently, he was also featured in the “Author Profile section” of Angewandte Chemie (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201711677). Arjan has (co)authored >160 international journal publications and 2 patent applications with total citations beyond 6600. His current h-index ranks around 46 (average citation score = 36). He is an advisory board member for Current Organic Chemistry (since 2014) and ChemSusChem (since 2016), member of the editorial board for the Journal of CO2 Utilization (since 2017), and Molecules (since 2017). He was invited guest-editor for Catalysis Science & Technology in 2014 and ChemSusChem in 2017 arranging special issues on CO2 catalysis. In 2016 he chaired the first Carbon Dioxide Conversion Catalysis (CDCC-1) conference in Portugal, and will chair the 4th EuCheMS Congress on Green and Sustainable Chemistry (EuGSC) in Tarragona, 2019.His main research interests are in the area of CO2 conversion, development of new reactivity using organic carbonates as modular scaffolds and the use of renewable compounds and monomers in stereo-selective transformations and polymer applications.

研究领域

Chemistry is the best tool we have to solve the challenges of today and improve our quality of life. ICIQ research groups work in many different areas, from computational chemistry to the development of industrial processes and patents. All of ICIQ groups share the same goal: to attain sustainability. Here at ICIQ we have a multidisciplinary approach to research, encouraging all sort of collaborations: in-house, national, and international. We also work on Science Policy to position chemical research in the European research strategy agenda. We also believe in excellent research. Since March 2014 we are recognised as a Severo Ochoa Excellence Centre by the Spanish Government. We are also proud of our researchers, that received a total of 15 European Research Council (ERC) grants. The ERC’s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontir research across all fields, on the basis of scientific excellence.
