The scientist we are looking for this time is considered a pioneer of photochemistry. He or she, together with a colleague, is the namesake of a reaction that transforms pyrrole into a pyridine derivative.

Our chemist was very early in pointing out the need for a transition away from the use of fossil fuels and proposed that solar energy and photochemical processes should be used in industry.

Who are we looking for?
