Moniek Tromp is a Professor of Material Chemistry at the University of Groningen and Director of the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials. She holds a PhD in inorganic chemistry and catalysis from Utrecht University (2004) and has held academic positions in the UK and Germany before returning to the Netherlands in 2014. Her research focuses on sustainable materials, battery technology, and catalysis, emphasizing real-time spectroscopic techniques like X-ray absorption spectroscopy to study reaction mechanisms. She leads initiatives such as the Battery Competence Cluster NL and chairs organizations like the Dutch Catalysis Society and LNVH (Dutch Network of Women Professors).
Her work integrates fundamental science with industrial applications, including developing high-performance anodes for lithium-ion batteries and advancing catalyst design. Awards include the NWO Athena Prize 2017 for promoting female researchers. Tromp also advocates for gender equality in STEM and science education, using virtual reality to enhance chemistry lab experiences.
Key grants include a Gravitation grant for nanoscale energy research and leadership in the Dutch Top Sector Chemistry. Her interdisciplinary collaborations span academia and industry, addressing challenges in energy storage and sustainable materials.
