Catalysis Science & Technology Blog

Associate Editor Paul Kamer has selected some outstanding research to share with you from Catalysis Science & Technology. Read them now for free until the end of December 2019!

Paul Kamer obtained a degree in biochemistry at the University of Amsterdam and did his PhD in physical organic chemistry at the University of Utrecht. As a postdoctoral fellow of the Dutch Cancer Society (KWF) he carried out postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Leiden. He was appointed Lecturer at the University of Amsterdam and full Professor of homogeneous catalysis in 2005. In 2005 he received a Marie Curie Excellence Grant and moved to the University of St Andrews. His current research interests are (asymmetric) homogeneous catalysis, biocatalysis, combinatorial synthesis, and artificial metalloenzymes. In 2017 he moved to the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis at the University of Rostock..
