Tessa de Koning Gans started her PhD at the Photocatalysis Synthesis group at the University of Twente in 2022. Her research focusses on the epoxidation of alkenes as an alternative anodic reaction in electrochemical CO2 reduction. Within her research she uses a special electrode configuration, the hollow fiber electrode. Her project is part of the Advanced Research Center for Chemical Building Blocks consortium (ARC CBBC) and is part of the multilateral project new chemistry for the future.
