Andreas Phanopoulos

Dr. Andreas Phanopoulos is a Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London, specializing in organometallic chemistry and catalysis for sustainable energy applications. His research focuses on small molecule activation, particularly carbon dioxide and fluoroalkanes, to develop green chemistry solutions.

• Marie Curie Research Fellow (2020–present)
• Postdoctoral experience at Imperial College London, University of Tokyo, and University of Oxford
• PhD in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis (2011–2015)
• MChem in Chemistry (Durham University, 2007–2011)

His work spans inorganic, organic, and theoretical chemistry, with a strong emphasis on designing catalysts for environmental remediation and renewable energy vectors. Recent projects include chemical recycling of hydrofluorocarbons, heterometallic systems for CO2 copolymerization, and bifunctional chelators for nuclear medicine.

Scientific awards include the Marie Curie Research Fellowship and JSPS Research Fellowship. He is proficient in French, Japanese, and Greek.
