Aysun Ipek Paksoy

Dr. Aysun Ipek Paksoy is a Research Fellow in Carbon Negative Chemicals Synthesis at the University of Surrey and an Assistant Professor at Uskudar University, Turkiye. She holds a PhD (2016) and MSc (2010) from Bogazici University, and a BSc (2008) from Istanbul Technical University.

• PhD: Bogazici University (2016)
• MSc: Bogazici University (2010)
• BSc: Istanbul Technical University (2008)

Her research focuses on carbon dioxide capture and utilisation, hydrogen energy, and circular economy, with a specialization in heterogeneous catalysis for sustainable chemical synthesis. Her publications highlight innovations in dual-function materials (DFMs) for ambient-pressure methanol production, dynamic restructuring of catalysts, and energy-efficient CO2 conversion technologies.

Notable scientific awards include her designation as a Sustainability Fellow. She previously worked as a formulation specialist at Bilim Ilac Pharmaceutical Company.

Her recent work explores flexible chemical synthesis under dynamic operational conditions, emphasizing nanoscale material optimization, selectivity control, and cyclic stability in CO2-to-methanol processes. This aligns with her broader goals to advance circular economy principles in catalysis and chemical engineering.
