is Head of the Chair of Heterogeneous Catalysis and Chemical Technology at RWTH, Director of the Institute for Sustainable Hydrogen Economy at FZJ and Max Planck Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion. With heterogeneous catalysis and material design as core competencies, she and her team develop sustainable chemical processes. From 2019 to 2022, she headed the Sustainable Chemistry Division of the GDCh, and her group is one of the leading research teams worldwide in the development of catalytic processes for biomass utilization. In the former Clusters of Excellence Tailor-made Fuels from Biomass as well as the current Fuel Science Center, she developed high-performance chemo- and electrocatalysts for CO2 activation and plastics recycling as well as new adsorbents for energy-efficient biorefinery separation processes. Another research focus concerns innovative catalyst systems in the form of single-atom catalysts and metal-free catalysis. In industry-related projects such as Bio4MatPro, she scales up sustainable processes and products with partners.
