Wonwoo Nam

Wonwoo Nam is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Nanoscience at EWHA Womans University in Seoul. Nam will be conducting a project at HU Berlin together with Kallol Ray titled “Developing Green Catalytic Systems Utilizing Bioinspired Metal Catalysts.” It focuses on metalloenzymes, special proteins that contain transition metals such as iron or manganese and can thus react with oxygen. Inspired by natural processes, the project will investigate how metalloenzymes can be used in synthetic photosynthesis. This could help design industrial processes that are more energy efficient or improve sustainable energy generation.

The project is based at the Unifying Systems in Catalysis (UniSysCat) Cluster of Excellence.
