Research Interests (see also Publications and Personal
Web Page )
Interlab research group usually has as goal Energy
related issues. We study many interests around this central theme from
studying basic single electron transfer processes in organic chemistry, to
applications, such as finding inhibitors for methane hydrate formation in
deep water drilling processes for petroleum exploration. We always try to
give computational/experimental chemistry training to our students, since we
do believe that this interface is a fruitful area. Our main projects and
interests are shown below. ·
Energy and Petroleum
