Alexander Nellessen

Alexander Nellessen is a Doctoral Student at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. His research centers on developing durable SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalysts to address the stringent EU CO2 directive for heavy-duty vehicles. Specifically, he investigates the impact of promoters and synthesis methods on catalyst performance using advanced operando spectroscopic techniques. His work aims to enhance NOx reduction efficiency over the lifetime of vehicles, a critical area for truck and bus manufacturers.

Research interests include environmental chemistry, catalysis, materials science, exhaust emissions control, and chemical engineering. He employs cutting-edge operando spectroscopy to analyze SCR mechanisms under real-world conditions.

Currently, there are no listed scientific awards or grants associated with his work. His research is conducted within the Applied Chemistry division at Chalmers, contributing to sustainable automotive technologies.
