We aim to provide solutions for challenging chemical problems and to realize sustainable, robust photocatalytic transformations.
The research in our group is driven by curiosity and the understanding of photophysical properties of photocatalysts as well as reaction mechanisms. A key aspect of our research philosophy is to learn from other areas such as materials sciences.
