Andreas Kogelbauer

Andreas Kogelbauer is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, part of the Faculty of Engineering. He has held this position since 2004, following roles as Lecturer (1999–2004) and Senior Research Associate (1995–1999) at Imperial College. Previously, he was a Research Associate at the University of Pittsburgh (1992–1995) and a PhD candidate at the Technical University of Vienna (1987–1992), where he also served as a University Assistant. His affiliations include the ACRE (Applied Catalysis and Reaction Engineering) programme and the Industrial Biotechnology Hub.

Education:

• PhD in Technical Chemistry (1992), Technical University of Vienna. Thesis: "Synthesis and reactions of methylamines on zeolite catalysts"
• MS in Technical Chemistry (1987), Technical University of Vienna. Thesis: "Surface chemical and catalytic properties of erionite catalysts"

Research Interests: Dr. Kogelbauer focuses on heterogeneous catalysts for sustainable chemical production, emphasizing environmentally benign processes. Key areas include zeolite catalysis, kinetic modeling, and in-situ infrared spectroscopy for mechanistic insights. His work prioritizes practical reactor design and catalyst recovery, aiming to optimize industrial processes. He investigates co-adsorption phenomena and reaction modes to enhance selectivity and thermal stability in catalytic systems.
