Senior Researcher
Material chemistry, Doc FT
My research focuses on the development and understanding of emission reduction techniques for transport and energy production. Exhaust gas after-treatment systems of natural gas and other alternative fueled vehicles are one of the main focus areas in catalyst research. Particularly, out goals are to minimize overall emissions and to extend life-time of exhaust gas after-treatment systems by combining chemical and technical solutions. The main expertise are in the field of methane combustion catalysis and nitrogen oxide removal by selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Furthermore, we are seeking, together with our industrial partners, new catalytic approaches to find emission-free solution for energy production.
