New Materials Core Group Member, LINXS Fellow

Sara Blomberg is an assistant professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Lund University, Sweden. Blomberg received her PhD in Physics at the Department of Synchrotron Radiation Research at Lund University in 2017. She was a post doc between 2018-2020 at Dept. of Chemical Engineering in Lund and affiliated post doc to the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley, USA. In 2020 she was hired as an assistant professor. Her research is focused on catalytic processes where she are using in situ and operando X-ray techniques to study the interaction between the catalyst and the reactants. During her PhD, she focused her research on model systems to achieve a fundamental knowledge about active surface structures and surface-related phenomena in catalytic processes. Today, her research is still aiming for in-depth knowledge about chemical processes on catalysts. She is designing and studying model systems as well as industrial catalysts and has a particular interest in catalytic processes related to the production of renewables and the conversion of biomass.
