Marc T.M. Koper is professor of surface chemistry and catalysis at Leiden University, the Netherlands. He received his PhD degree (1991) from Utrecht University (the Netherlands) in the field of electrochemistry. He was an EU Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ulm (Germany) and a Fellow of Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) at Eindhoven University of Technology, before moving to Leiden in 2005. He has also been a visiting professor at Hokkaido University (Japan).
His research interests are in fundamental studies of electrochemical and electrocatalytic processes through a combination of experimental and theoretical investigations. His group combines well-defined, often single-crystalline electrodes in combination with spectroscopic techniques to study electrocatalytic reactions of importance for energy and environmental issues, such as hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrate reduction. His theoretical work combines the theories of charge transfer reactions in condensed media with large density functional theory calculations, not only for comparison with experiment, but also to understand the nature of electrocatalytic reactions at a more conceptual level.
