Pieter Bruijnincx (born in 1979) is working on the development of catalysts and synthesis routes for the production of ‘green’ chemical building blocks from biomass.
Such building blocks are vital to efforts to make the chemicals industry more sustainable. In his work on this socially relevant issue, he has joined forces with industry partners and combines basic and applied research. Bruijnincx is active in outreach programmes and has developed a teaching module for secondary school pupils focusing on biomass conversion and catalysis.
