معرفی
Lies Bouwman is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC), Leiden University, and serves as MSc Programme Director and Director of Education at the LIC. Her research focuses on transition metal complexes, catalytic reactions, and biomimetic systems, particularly in the areas of homogeneous catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and sustainable materials. She is affiliated with the LIC’s research groups in Energy & Sustainability and Metals in Catalysis, Biomimetics & Inorganic Materials.
- Education: Not explicitly stated in provided texts.
Her research explores designing metal complexes for low-temperature CO₂ electrolysis and bio-based chemical conversions. Key interests include structural models for hydrogenases and nickel/sulfonate complexes.
Publications span structural and catalytic studies, with notable work on γ-valerolactone conversion to caprolactam (2014), Fe-only hydrogenase models (1998), and nickel sulfonato complexes (1997). Her work frequently integrates crystallography and coordination chemistry.
- Awards: None explicitly listed for Bouwman herself in the provided texts.
She advises multiple PhD candidates and has mentored former students like D. Rademaker and Liyan Zhang. Her lab is part of the LIC’s multidisciplinary environment, contributing to energy and sustainability research.
