Alfons Baiker (born April 14, 1945 in Zürich) is a Swiss Chemist specializing in Catalysis. Baiker studied chemistry at ETH Zurich. After obtaining his PhD in 1974 he followed several post-doctoral stays at various universities. In 1989 he became a full professor in catalysis and reaction engineering at ETH where he worked until his retirement in 2010.
Research
editDr. Baiker's research covers a wide range of topics, including: Asymmetric catalysis,[1] chiral surfaces, catalytic oxidation,[2] utilization of carbon dioxide in catalytic synthesis,[3] environmental catalysis,[4] reactions in supercritical fluids,[5] flame synthesis of catalysts[6] and in situ spectroscopy of catalytic surface processes.[7]
