Dr. Andreas Jentys
Academic Career and Research Areas
The Research is aimed at the understanding of reactions and transport phenomena on meso structured, micro- and mesoporous oxides with acid/base or redox properties and supported metal catalysts used in catalytic gas and condensed phase reactions. Materials with specifically tailored functionality are prepared and their sorptive and catalytic properties are studied by combining in situ electron and vibrational spectroscopy with microkinetic experiments.
Andreas Jentys, born 1963 in Vienna, Austria studied Chemistry at the TU Wien and obtained his doctorate (Dr. techn.) in 1991. After postdoctoral study at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1992-1993 with Prof. Richard Catlow, he joined TU Wien as lecturer and was appointed Associate Professor in 1998. In 1999 he joined the group of Chemical Technology at the TU München as senior scientist (Privatdozent) and was appointed as Professor (apl.) in 2011. Since 2006 he is actively involved in teaching at TUM Asia.
