You are a highly motivated and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD degree in chemical or reaction engineering or in the field of catalysis, with excellent skills in your field. You can contribute to excellence in at least one of the following catalysis associated research domains:
- modelling of reaction kinetics based on experimental data
- development of novel approaches to catalyst testing and kinetics
- evaluation of materials through catalyst performance characterization
- innovative approaches in reaction engineering
You are excited by solving fundamental research questions and inspired by the prospect of testing catalytic materials and solving problems in catalysis with ground-breaking performance in applications such as syngas chemistry, or activation of hard to activate molecules like N2, CO2, H2O or alkanes.
One of your main challenges will be to smartly help develop new approaches to performance characteristics via assessing kinetics of catalytic reactions through advanced testing methodologies. Bridging the materials / reaction engineering domain with smart approaches in process engineering will be necessary to arrive at both: innovative processes and suitable catalyst materials.
