Dear reader,

Thanks for dropping by! Even if you opened this page accidentally or pressed the wrong button, you might want to stay and have a read - a lot of great discoveries happened by chance anyway...

My main area of focus at Utrecht University is the development of carbon capture, storage, and, in particular, utilisation. Achieving sustainable CO₂ conversion is a huge challenge, requiring cross-disciplinary research to discover, design, develop, and optimize new materials and processes. This is where my research comes into play - computational chemistry/physics allows one to tackle problems where experiments are too expensive, take too long, or simply are not possible (e.g., extremely high pressures).

Briefly, my project comprises:

• Materials: Fe-S compounds, Copper oxides, Zn-P phases, interfaces
• Applications: catalytic potential in the conversion of CO₂, photovoltaics, magnetic interactions, thermoelectrics...
• Techniques: ab-initio modelling (DFT, AIMD, TD-DFT)
