My group is interested in chemical aspects of Energy and Sustainability, in particular the conversion of solar energy into renewable fuels and high-value organic chemicals. Thus, electro- and photocatalysis are central to our work at the interface of synthetic chemistry, materials and nano-science, chemical biology and engineering. A central theme is the study and mimicry of natural processes such as plant photosynthesis and enzymes relevant for light-driven chemical synthesis.
