Dr. White holds a doctorate from University of York (UK), concerning the development of porous polysaccharide-derived materials, carbonaceous derivatives and the associated Spin-off company Starbon Technologies® Ltd. He worked previously at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids & Interfaces, the Technische Universität Berlin, and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies. Between 2015 and 2019, Dr. White led the R&D group “Sustainable Catalytic Materials” at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Freiburg, Germany), as financed through a “Fraunhofer Attract” award. In 2017, he was awarded the “Young Researcher Award” by the Global Green Chemistry Centres Network. Since 2018, he sits on the advisory board of the Royal Society of Chemistry journal “Reaction Chemistry & Engineering”. He is currently working at TNO as a senior scientist, with R&D focused on catalysis, electrons to fuels, photons to fuels, materials and sustainable chemistry. His R&D interests relate to catalytic material/process design and evaluation, synthetic fuels/platform molecules, and CO2/biomass conversion with the aim to support the elaboration of renewable energy driven “Power-to-X” schemes (where X = chemicals, intermediates, materials etc.).
