Simakov, David - University of Waterloo - Department of Chemical Engineering

个人简介

Professor Simakov’s research focuses on advanced heterogeneous catalysis and reactor design for sustainable reaction engineering, including conversion of greenhouse gases into renewable synthetic fuels. Similarly to the way plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into their food, synthetic molecules can be generated from carbon dioxide and water using renewable energy. Our research group uses state-of-the-art catalysis and advanced reactor design to develop processes for generation of synthetic fuels and platform chemicals from greenhouse gases using wind, solar and other renewable sources of energy. The ultimate goal is to develop sustainable technologies that will decrease our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

研究领域

Our group uses chemical reaction engineering to design sustainable processes for converting greenhouse gases into renewable synthetic fuels and platform chemicals. We develop novel catalytic systems based on emerging materials and design highly efficient reactors using modeling tools and experiments. Our current research projects are listed below: Emerging catalytic materials for CO2 activation Nano-structured catalysts for thermo-catalytic conversion of CO2 Reactor design for CO2 conversion into renewable natural gas and methanol System design for production of renewable synthetic fuels from biogas
