RESEARCH AREAS
Catalysis and Reaction Engineering
Catalysis involves the use of substances called catalysts to accelerate reaction rates or modify reaction pathways in chemical reactions. Catalysts facilitate chemical reactions by promoting interactions at the atomic or molecular level, thereby increasing the reaction rate and product selectivity. Reaction engineering, on the other hand, deals with the design, optimization, and control of chemical reactions. These research areas focus on developing methods to improve the efficiency and selectivity of chemical reactions by understanding catalyst properties and optimizing reaction conditions. They are playing a crucial role in industrial sectors such as chemical production, energy generation, and environmental protection.
