Heterogenous catalysis for the synthesis of bulk and fine chemicals and intermediates, as well as for energy-related applications and carbon dioxide utilisation
Electrocatalysis that uses electrons for sustainable chemical transformations as well as for energy generation in fuel cells
Photocatalysis that utilises solar energy as energy source to drive chemical processes, and produce chemicals and energy vectors such as hydrogen
Multiscale computational catalysis engineering that bridges active site to reactor scales, providing insight into current and novel catalytic materials, reactors and processes
Reactor engineering across length scales from microreactors to scaled-up multiphase, fluidised bed and membrane reactors, often incorporating heterogenous catalysts
Process Intensification for more efficient, sustainable, safe chemical processes that are modular and have small footprint
Advanced thermochemical technologies such as plasma, gasification, pyrolysis, and catalytic reforming for bioenergy and chemical recycling
