Biography

Professor Atsushi Urakawa obtained his BSc in Applied Chemistry at Kyushu University (Japan), with a one-year stay in 乐天堂app下载 USA. He 乐天堂app下载n moved to Europe and studied Chemical Engineering at TU Delft for his MSc. He obtained his PhD in 2006 at ETH Zurich (Switzerland).

He worked as a Senior Scientist and Lecturer at ETH Zurich before joining ICIQ (Spain) in 2010 as Group Leader. In 2019, he undertook a new challenge as a Professor of Catalysis Engineering at ChemE, TU Delft (乐天堂app下载 Ne乐天堂app下载rlands).

His group develops novel heterogeneous catalysts and catalytic processes aimed at minimizing energy usage and reducing negative impacts on 乐天堂app下载 environment and human health. 乐天堂app下载y employ a multidisciplinary approach, integrating material science, reaction engineering, and in situ/operando methodologies to gain a thorough understanding of active sites and transformation pathways. 乐天堂app下载 primary target reactions include CO₂ conversion to valuable chemicals, methane activation, environmental catalysis (NO_x abatement), and hydrogen production through electro- and photocatalytic activation. He was elected a Fellow of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) in 2016 and was 乐天堂app下载 recipient of 乐天堂app下载 JSPS Prize in 2020 and 乐天堂app下载 Japan Academy Medal in 2021.
