Nominator's project description

Professor Copéret has achieved major breakthroughs in the area of heterogeneous catalysis. This has been possible by understanding the surface chemistry of oxides with atomistic and molecular precision. During his stay in Germany, he will work on developing molecular level insights and structure-property relationships in supported catalysis as well as on bridging the gap between model and industrial catalysts.
