Our research, rooted in green chemistry principles, advances the design of catalytic materials and process concepts for the scalable synthesis of sustainable chemicals and energy vectors.

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 catalytic solutions for transforming renewable feedstocks, like CO₂, biomass, and plastic waste toward circularity goals.

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