Sara Blomberg receives the prize for broadening the possibilities to measure processes on the catalytic surface and the gas phase simultaneously.

 Her research is focused on catalytic processes where she is using in situ and operando X-rays techniques to study the interaction between the catalyst and the reactants on the atomical level. 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.
