Expertise:
My research focusses on in situ characterization of solid catalysts and controlled synthesis of nanoparticle catalysts as model systems (e.g. from colloids or organometallic precursors). Catalytic systems tackled using these approaches span a very broad range from Fischer-Tropsch and methane activation through a range of biomass transformations (phenol/furfural hydrogernation) to fine chemicals production using C-C coupling reactions (Sonogashira, Heck, Suzuki).
