Day Lab - Research Group at the University of Copenhagen

Welcome to Day Lab, the research group led by an assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen. This website serves as a platform to showcase our research endeavors, group members, and the latest publications. Feel free to explore and learn more about our work.

Our Research Focus

Our lab is pioneering sustainable solutions for the fine-chemical, commodity chemical, and materials sectors through the development of advanced catalytic systems based on Earth-abundant transition metals. By reimagining the potential of these metals, we aim to create transformative and sustainable alternatives to traditional, resource-intensive catalytic processes.

Welcome to Chaodi, our second PhD in the group!

Our first PhD, Tu Anh has joined the Day Lab!
