Description:

LSCI Bonjour et bienvenue! Our main research goal is to develop catalysts that are made of Earth-abundant elements for chemical transformations relevant to synthesis, energy, and sustainability. Towards this goal, we currently focus on base metal catalyzed organic synthesis, electrochemical water splitting and CO2 reduction, fuel cell catalysis, as well as the development of synthetic models for the active site of metalloenzymes.Check out our publications for the latest research results.EPFL Master students: Please follow the guideline in this file when applying for any projects.Latest NewsFollow the group news in our Twitter account.See News Archive and Group Events for all news.2020[August] Congratulations to Marten Ploeger for a successful public presentation of his PhD thesis before receiving his doctoral degree.2019[August] Congratulations to Laurent Liardet for a successful public presentation of his PhD thesis before receiving his doctoral degree.[August] Congratulations to Runze Mao for being selected as one of the finalists of the 2019 Reaxys PhD prize.
