Nominator's project description

Professor Blackmond is internationally well-known for her pioneering work of the development of Reaction Progress Kinetic Analysis (RPKA). The methodology combines highly accurate in-situ data collection with a rigorous mathematical analysis that permits rapid determination of concentration dependences of reactants. While in Germany, she will continue her work by applying her analytical portfolio to light-driven catalysis and reactions involving ion-pairs.
