Our research aims to drive the chemical industry toward a zero-emission future through advances in catalysis and surface science. We develop novel platform tools for automated, multidimensional operando characterization of heterogeneous catalysts and functional materials. A central focus is the design and fundamental understanding of new catalysts for the energy transition, with particular emphasis on surface structure and reactivity. We explore unconventional catalytic processes such as photocatalysis, driven either by direct sunlight or renewable electricity-powered LEDs. Through these efforts, we strive to enable sustainable chemical transformations at the molecular level.
