Details
Catalysis is an important science at the interface between chemistry, physics, biology, engineering and material sciences that enables chemical processes to be realized in a cost-, energy and eco-efficient way. It is thus regarded as a key factor for sustainable development and innovation in the chemical and related industries.
The internationally designed Ph.D. programme CaSuS provides an educational platform and a stimulating environment for interdisciplinary cutting-edge research in this field, with a focus on molecular catalysis. Scientific projects range from the design of new types of molecular catalysts and the elucidation of fundamental reaction mechanisms to the synthesis of polymers or natural products and applications in industrially relevant processes.
Interdisciplinary projects foster regular interaction of students across the borders of traditional sub disciplines of chemistry and enhance the student’s abilities to conduct their research in a collaborative manner within an environment of scientific excellence.
