BOF Sabbatical 2021-2022 - Vera Meynen.

The sabbatical is focused on synthesis-property-performance correlation of (hybrid) (porous) inorganic materials for different applications, reached by a two-fold approach: 1) developing new personal skills and research competences in industry-academia collaboration; 2) Secondly, part of my time will be spent to deepen my knowledge and experience in the research that I have started over the past years (synthesis and modification of hybrid metal oxides and plasma catalytic CO2 conversion). Here, I aim to specifically expand my knowledge on added value, in-depth analysis methodologies that aid in unraveling mechanistic insights in the material synthesis/modification and its correlation to performance in application. In addition, a new collaboration, with the organic chemistry group, on heterogeneous catalyst development for green organic chemistry applications will be started.
