Nominator's project description
| Professor Oyama is an international authority in heterogeneous catalysis. He brought novel in-situ techniques to catalysis and introduced transition metal phosphides based catalysts to desulphurization processes, a research direction with a great future. In Germany, he will focus on the application of surface science studies to unravel processes on single crystal phosphides. |
