The cutting edge in catalysis is interdisciplinary. It requires knowledge of chemistry, biology and physics too. We are proudly part of the integrated catalysis ( iCAT ) CDT where we explore the combination of exciting techniques including electro-,photo-, and biocatalysis in the aim of enhancing reactivity, selectivity and sustainability.
