This year's Hassel lecture is headed by Professor Veronique Van Speybroeck. The first day Professor Speybroeck will present the lecture "Operando modeling of functional nanostructured materials for sustainable chemistry, nanosensing and clean energy."

Who is Professor Veronique Van Speybroeck?
Veronique Van Speybroeck is full professor at the Ghent University and head
of the Center for Molecular modeling a multidisciplinary research center.

Veronique Van Speybroeck has a record of significant contributions in the field of modeling nanoporous materials for catalysis, adsorption, e.g. zeolites, Metal-Organic Frameworks, Covalent Organic Frameworks; all applications are inspired and performed in close synergy with experimental groups. Her research is driven by the ambition to model as close as possible realistic materials/processes.

Van Speybroeck pioneered the simulation of complex catalytic conversions at operating conditions using enhanced molecular dynamics simulations capturing the full complexity of the free energy surface.

What is the Hassel lecture?
The Hassel lecture is a yearly lecture organised by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oslo in honor of Nobel Laureate Odd Hassel. The conference is organized by the Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo and the Norwegian Chemical Society (Norsk Kjemisk Selskap, NKS) that highlights especially innovative or current research presented by a distinguished invited lecturer.

Two lectures will be held by the Hassel Lecturer:

The first day, Thursday, the Hassel Lecture is targeted at a broad, non-expert in chemistry (as well as other natural sciences) audience.

The second lecture on Friday, is addressed to an audience that is more proficient in the area(s) of chemistry that are presently closest to the Hassel Lecturer.
