Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing need to transition away from conventional chemical production systems that rely heavily on fossil resources, and to establish a sustainable carbon cycle. Alternative carbon resources such as carbon dioxide and biomass are abundant, but their chemical stability makes efficient conversion challenging using conventional approaches. Addressing this challenge requires the development of advanced catalytic processes. My research focuses on the utilization of heterogeneous catalysts for CO₂ conversion, combining reactions such as hydrogenation, reverse water gas shift, and Fischer Tropsch synthesis to produce value added hydrocarbons, including sustainable aviation fuels. In particular, I investigate catalyst design based on metal oxide interfaces to control reaction pathways and achieve high product selectivity. Moving forward, I aim to integrate fundamental understanding with process-oriented development to establish efficient and environmentally responsible catalytic systems that contribute to sustainable manufacturing.
