Nominator's project description
| Prof. Mindiola is internationally recognized for his contributions to the field of catalysis. Catalysis is indispensable for the production of a broad range of materials, which impact our daily lives. Prof. Mindiola has devised methods, allowing for the rational preparation of molecules that are suspected to be essential intermediates of catalytic cycles. By making these species verifiable and accessible to future optimization, he advances catalyst design, thus minimizing energy cost and maximizing resources. In Germany, Prof. Mindiola intends to continue these studies. |
