Brian Rosen

Prof. Brian Rosen serves as Associate Professor and Vice Dean for International Affairs in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Tel Aviv University's Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on energy conversion materials and catalytic processes for sustainable energy solutions.

His primary research interests include:

• Energy Conversion Materials (methane, oxygen, CO₂)
• Heterogeneous Catalysis for fuel processing
• Electrochemistry of CO₂ reduction systems
• Fuel cell and battery materials development

Analysis of recent publications reveals strong emphasis on catalyst design for CO₂ conversion and methane reforming, with particular expertise in nanomaterial synthesis, defect engineering, and coke-resistant catalyst systems. His work bridges fundamental electrochemistry with practical energy applications.

Scientific contributions include:

• Development of Re-promoted Ni foam catalysts for dry reforming
• MoS₂-based CO₂ reduction systems
• Shape-controlled perovskite catalysts for methane conversion

Rosen leads the Energy Materials Laboratory with facilities in Wolfson Engineering Building rooms 308, 402, and 404, focusing on translating nanomaterial research into practical energy solutions through international collaborations.
