“I am passionate about catalysis. Demand is growing for more sustainable processes that either do not yet exist or that do not work well enough to be used in a technical setting. Catalysis is a tool that can help make such processes possible,” says Tanja Franken. When she refers to sustainable processes, the professor is thinking predominantly of processes aimed at saving CO2. These require catalysts that are custom made to suit these procedures, and that is exactly what the researcher plans to develop in her project.
