Biography

The Kreitz Group uncovers detailed chemical kinetics in complex heterogeneously catalyzed reactions to advance crucial processes like circular economy, plastic waste upcycling, renewable fuel synthesis, and biomass conversion. The group employs a holistic chemical engineering approach utilizing first-principles-based multiscale modeling, automated reaction mechanism development, and kinetic experiments, along with theory-guided catalyst design. This comprehensive strategy enables an understanding of processes at the atomic reactor level, facilitating the design of optimally performing catalysts and enhancing reactor intensification. By merging advanced multiscale models with empirical experiments, the group continues to push the boundaries of the field, gaining new insights into reaction mechanisms and achieving a precise comprehension of catalytic working conditions.
