Karina Mathisen
Background and activities
Vice Dean for Education at the Faculty of natural sciences.
Courses I contribute to are; KJ2031 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry and KJ2900 Bachelor project in Chemistry.
Research projects include synthesis and fundamental characterisation of porous materials such as zeotypes with emphasis on incorporation of catalytically active transition metals. Ongoing projects also include modification of porosity in zeotypes with the aims of introducing mesopores which can function as super-highways to microreactors. We are experienced users of synchrotron facilities such as the Swiss Norwegian Beamlines (SNBL) in Grenoble France, and the EXAFS beamline at MaxLab in Lund Sweden. In situ x-ray absorption spectroscopy studies of our materials under realistic working conditions help us understand and identify metal species present during the reaction.
