Biography

Dr. Lercher is internationally renowned for his work on the fundamental aspects of industrially relevant catalyzed reactions. The targeted reactions are the low-temperature acid-catalyzed activation, functionalization, and transformation of alkanes; the oxidative activation of light alkanes including methane; and the hydrogenation and cracking of heavy biogenic and fossil molecules.

Research Interests

• Dr Lercher's work provides insight into the reaction steps on the surface of solid catalysts on an elementary level. This knowledge is used to design and synthesize nanoscopically well-defined, chemically functionalized surfaces and materials. The synthesis and modification of the target materials is controlled on the level of the individual chemical reactions during the genesis of the nanoscopic particles and the assembly of the pre-functionalized entities.
