Research areas are based on the investigation of new catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials and new catalyst characterization techniques. The emphasis is on in situ characterization under dynamic conditions of catalytically active phases, active sites and reaction mechanisms, and the development for the conversion of light alkanes, catalytic synthesis of fine chemicals and environmental catalysis.
