Nouveau Chargé de Recherche CNRS

Bienvenue au Dr Robert Wojcieszak, nouveau Chargé de Recherches CNRS au L2CM depuis le 1er Février 2024, et félicitations pour sa récente publication d'une revue chez Nature Review Chemistry portant sur l'activation d'hydrogène par des catalyseurs d'or.  

Dr Robert Wojcieszak is the researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France. He obtained his Ph.D. in Molecular Chemistry from Henri Poincaré University in Nancy, in 2006 and subsequently held a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the IMCN at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. Then, he was a FAPESP fellow at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. His work likely involves a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches, including catalyst synthesis and characterization, kinetic studies, mechanistic investigations, and applied catalysis. By systematically exploring the reactivity of metal-based catalysts towards valorization of biobased molecules, he seeks to uncover the underlying mechanisms and optimize reaction conditions to maximize efficiency and selectivity. The implications of his research are far-reaching. Successful development of efficient heterogeneous and hybrid processes could lead to the sustainable production of various chemicals, fuels, and materials from biomass. This aligns with broader goals of promoting green chemistry and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. His research interests cover materials science and catalytic materials design. Especially he is working on the development of new advanced hybrid catalysts for biomass transformation especially for the oxidation and hydrogenation processes. He published more than 140 articles in peer review journals.
