About SW
I am a chemist driven by the vision of creating a more sustainable future through innovation in catalysis and green synthetic chemistry. My work focuses on designing efficient, environmentally friendly chemical transformations that minimize waste and energy use and thus bringing together creativity, precision, and purpose.
I believe that chemistry has the power to shape a cleaner world. Through the intelligent design of catalysts and reaction pathways, my research aims to turn fundamental scientific insights into practical solutions that advance sustainability, from renewable feedstocks to carbon capture and beyond.
At the heart of my work lies a simple philosophy: scientific progress and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand.
“Designing safer, more sustainable chemicals and processes is not only a scientific challenge—it is a moral obligation.”
