Professor Rochefort’s research focuses on electrochemical processes involving ionic liquids. The functionalization of ionic liquids by electroactive moieties is used to develop new electrolytes studied in various electrochemical storage systems, like batteries and supercapacitors.

Professor Schmitzer’s research combines organic, bio-organic and supramolecular chemistry, with the goal of gaining insight into how molecular recognition and motion can be combined, for the development of new catalytic systems and new transmembrane transporters.
