Marc Koper is full professor of Fundamental Surface Science at Leiden University where he studies how to steer and catalyze redox reactions for sustainable energy and chemistry combining experiment, theory and catalyst design principles. His interests are in electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, (electrochemical) surface science, and theoretical and computational (electro-)chemistry.
Marc Koper (1967) studied chemistry at Utrecht University, and obtained his PhD (cum laude) with Prof. J.H. Sluyters from Utrecht University in 1994 on “Far-from-equilibrium phenomena in electrochemical systems: instabilities, oscillations and chaos”. From 1995 to 1997 he was a postdoctoral Marie Curie Fellow in the group of Prof. W. Schmickler at the University of Ulm (Germany). In 1997, he returned to the Netherlands to join the group of Prof. R.A. van Santen at Eindhoven University of Technology, where he initially was a Fellow of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and later associate professor. In 2005, he was appointed full professor in fundamental surface science at Leiden University.
Amcel is a joint initiative of the Amsterdam electrochemistry community, bringing together researchers who are working on, and interested in electrochemistry and its applications. Established on the initiative of the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS), Amcel connects researchers from institutes and companies at Amsterdam Science Park and the wider Amsterdam area. Industry is represented in the form of the Avantium Science Park lab.
