Context and description of the project This research project aims at allowing exhaustive analysis of large amount of spectroscopic data in order to provide new insights in the comprehension of catalytic materials/phenomena. The LCS pioneered the use of tools developed and applied in other areas such as 2D-COS spectroscopy, exploratory multivariate analysis methods (PCA, EFA,
