Our research program, rooted in green chemistry principles, advances the design of catalytic materials and process concepts for sustainable chemical and energy production at scale.

We combine precision synthesis, advanced characterization, and catalytic testing under real-world conditions with data science tools and sustainability metrics to drive innovation and societal impact.

We research innovative solutions for transforming challenging feedstocks, like CO₂, biomass, and plastic waste, into renewable resources toward circular carbon goals.

Our group co-founded and now co-directs NCCR Catalysis, a Swiss research initiative working to develop the science and tools needed to build net zero chemical value chains through catalysis.
