Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Iglesia is one of the leading scientists in the field of Catalysis, which is the most important driver of innovation in chemical synthesis. He has made ground breaking contributions to the understanding and prediction of structure-function relations in catalysis, in particular with respect to chemical kinetics. During his stay in Germany, he intends to work on two projects: New catalytic inorganic materials with isolated cations and metal nanostructures as uniform active sites for the catalysis of hydrocarbon reactions in Munich and structure-function relations of metal-oxo-species in zeolites and of supported oxide and metal nanoparticles for methane activation in Berlin.
