Biography

Uta Hejral is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Physics at Chalmers University. Her research focuses on operando investigation of tailored catalysts for sustainable energy conversion at solid/gas and solid/liquid interfaces. She employs synchrotron-based techniques, specifically surface x-ray diffraction and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, to analyze model catalysts. The catalysts studied include epitaxially grown nanoparticles on single crystal surfaces and powder catalysts featuring size-selected nanoparticles prepared through inverse micelle encapsulation techniques. Uta's work contributes significantly to the understanding of catalyst performance under realistic operating conditions, which is essential for developing more efficient energy conversion technologies.
