  • Research

    In 2024, I joined HIMS as tenure track assistant professor in the Homogeneous, Supramolecular and Bio-Inspired Catalysis group, contributing to the Research Priority Area of ‘Sustainable Chemistry’. My research bridges (photo)reactions in porous materials and inventive spectroscopy.  The idea is that this ‘nano-confinement’ will reduce interaction pathlengths, thus enhancing the conversion rate of photoreactions that depend on short-lived excited species. In particular, my research will focus on heterogenous photoredox chemistry in metal-organic and covalent-organic frameworks. I combine these photoactive materials with (fast) spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis, IR, X-rays) to study how spatial confinement influences catalytic activity and selectivity, thereby advancing sustainable chemical processes. As these studies often require new analytical tools and test stations that are developed, built and tested in our group.
