Angela Melcherts received the NIOK Lecture Award for her presentation at the NCCC 2024 conference

PhD student Angela Melcherts received the NIOK Lecture Award for her presentation “Tuning Metal-Support Interactions in the CO2 Hydrogenation over Ni Supported on Titania Polymorphs”. Angela presented the results of her research about the mechanistic pathways of catalytic CO2 methanation over nickel supported on different titanium dioxide polymorphs (i.e., anatase, rutile, and brookite). She used

PhD defense Luca Carnevale: Microreactors for In Situ Single Catalyst Particle Characterization Using Advanced Imaging Techniques

Congratulations to Dr. Luca Carnevale for an Excellent PhD Defense. Luca has successfully defended his PhD thesis, supervised by Prof. Mathieu Odijk and Prof. Bert Weckhuysen. Luca has developed microreactors for in-situ characterization of single catalyst particles, thereby expanding a.o. the pressure limitations. His research contributes to advancing innovative microfluidic devices for investigating heterogeneous catalysts

PhD defense Max Werny: Probing the Morphology, Composition and Temperature of Olefin Polymerization Catalyst Particles with Microscopy and Spectroscopy

Congratulations to Dr. Max Werny for an excellent PhD defense. Max has successfully defended his PhD thesis, supervised by Prof. Bert Weckhuysen and Dr. Florian Meirer. Max has used fluorescence, infrared, electron & X-ray microscopy to investigate the morphology & break-up of olefin polymerization catalysts. In his PhD thesis, Max describes how an analytical toolbox,
