Research

I am working on hydrogenases, these biocatalysts are very interesting for sustainability because they can produce and use green hydrogen. In my research I couple hydrogenases with other enzymes in enzymatic cascades for the production of fine chemicals or for the production of green hydrogen from biogenic resources like sugars.  At the same time, I try to optimize the properties of hydrogenases such as activity, stability at high temperatures, and the broadening of the substrate spectrum by enzyme engineering. Furthermore, I am working on the establishment of enzymatic flow systems for the production of fine molecules
