Celebrating a Grant Success: Luis Pantaleone Awarded NWO XS Grant !

  • 16-07-2025

We’re proud to announce that our postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Luis Pantaleone, has been awarded an NWO XS Grant for his innovative project titled:

“Nanoreactors Enable Photoacid Catalysis for Sustainable Chemical Reprocessing.”

This exciting project will explore the development of photoacids confined in nanoreactors, paving the way for safer and more sustainable chemical reactions. By combining photocatalysis, molecular recognition, and data-driven workflows, Luis aims to address fundamental challenges in chemical reprocessing with a fresh and interdisciplinary approach.

The NWO XS Grant supports early-stage, high-risk ideas — a perfect fit for Luis’s creative and ambitious proposal. We’re grateful to the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) for recognizing the potential of this work and for investing in bold, future-forward science.

Congratulations, Luis — we’re excited to see this project take shape!
