Bio/Research

Research in heterogeneous catalysis and advanced materials to determine the molecular basis for macroscopic effects, such as chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties. The investigations involve spectroscopic characterization with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as the primary tool, complemented with established methods, notably infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Through this characterization one devises, for example, mechanisms of catalytic reactions or the effects of processing on material microstructures. This offers the potential to improve the reaction or the materials processing.
