Roger Marti

Roger Marti is a Professor of Organic Chemistry & Process Chemistry at the HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland, affiliated with the Faculty of Chemistry and Life Sciences and the ChemTech Institute. He has led multiple HES-SO-funded projects, including Public Mask (protective filter development), Smart Hydrogels (tissue engineering), and BIOSMART (bio-based packaging).

• Education: PhD in Chemistry from ETH Zurich, postdoctoral training at Sandoz Pharma USA.
• Expertise: Synthetic organic chemistry, flow chemistry, sustainable polymer development, and heterogeneous catalysis.

His research focuses on green chemistry and process intensification, particularly in:

• Single-atom catalysis for cross-coupling reactions
• Biodegradable polymers for medical and packaging applications
• Flow reactor design for scalable, safe chemical processes
• Techno-economic analysis of sustainable material production

Recent publications highlight trends in bio-based polymers, flow chemistry safety, and catalyst reuse with environmental impact assessments. He collaborates with institutes like HEPPIA, ZHAW, and iRAP on sustainability projects.

Current projects include CO2-neutral biofuels and electrospun biodegradable filters, funded by HES-SO and Swiss National Science Foundation. His work emphasizes closed-loop recycling and industrial feasibility of sustainable chemical processes.
