Metal-Organic Frameworks

Dr. Lars Öhrström is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. He received his M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering, and Ph.D. in chemistry, from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm 1988 and 1993 respectively. He completed postdoctoral training at the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, CEA, in Grenoble prior to joining Chalmers in 1995. He co-authored Molecule Based Materials – The Structural Network Approach in 2005 and is also a prolific popular science writer. He received the Gunnar Starck medal from the Swedish Chemical Society in 2018.

Dr. Francoise M. Amombo Noa is a researcher with expertise in supramolecular chemistry, reticular chemistry and crystallography. She is currently working on synthesis and characterization of metal-organic frameworks with emphasis on host-guest aspects, environmental applications and structural chemistry. Prior to her present position at Chalmers University of Technology she did postdoctoral training at the Centre for Supramolecular Chemistry Research at the University of Cape Town, and has also held a position at Engen Petroleum. She received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Cape Town in 2017 following M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Chemistry from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town 2014 and 2012 respectively.
