Dr. Ina Vollmer is a tenure track assistant professor at the Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis group at Utrecht University (UU). She is looking for pathways to recycle plastics to chemicals, particularly using catalysis. She researchers mechano-catalytic pathways to facilitate low temperature conversion of polymers with a higher selectivity. Dr. Vollmer studied chemical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (graduation 2015). In her doctorate, she researched activity descriptors for the aromatization reaction of methane over metal supported on zeolite catalysts with Prof. Freek Kapteijn and Prof. Jorge Gascon (graduated 2019). After two years of postdoc at UU, Dr. Vollmer was appointed as a tenure track assistant professor in 2021.
