Jeroen van Bokhoven is SNF-Professor in Heterogeneous Catalysis at the Institute for Chemical and Bioengineering since April 1st 2006.

He was born December 22nd 1971 in Maassluis, The Netherlands. He finished his studies in 1995 in chemistry at Utrecht University (NL). He obtained his Ph.D. with distinction in 2000 in inorganic chemistry and catalysis. From 1999 until 2002 he was head of the XAS (X-ray absorption spectroscopy) users - support group at Utrecht University. In 2002, he moved to the ETH, where he worked as senior researcher in the group of professor Prins.

Van Bokhoven works in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and (X-ray) spectroscopy. Goal is the determination of structure-performance relationships, which aid the design and construction of better catalysts for cleaner and more efficient processes. His main interests are heterogeneous catalysts and developing advanced tools in X-ray spectroscopy to study the catalyst structure under catalytic relevant conditions. Their combination provides insight into the structure and function of the catalytically active sites.
