Profile
Dr. Roldan Martinez is conducting research to better understand the surface processes that influence heterogeneous catalysis phenomena, which are closely related to environmental remediation and clean energy. To achieve this, Dr Martinez's team is using various computational tools to simulate the physical and chemical properties of systems, as well as the reaction mechanisms. By utilizing micro-kinetic models, they can optimize catalyst structures and working conditions, improve yields, select the best catalyst, and control sintering effects. These crucial topics placed him as Catalysis Theme Leader in the Net Zero Innovation Institute at Cardiff University.
