Welcome!

We are a young multidisciplinary research group at the AMC Chair at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), with our laboratories located in the Catalysis Research Centre (CRC).

We are interested in renewable energy research, in particular artificial photosynthesis and energy conversion to produce value-added products. We explore the use of molecular dyes, catalysts and polymers as well as hybrid materials to transform water and abundant feedstocks into chemicals, developing pathways towards sustainable energy.
