معرفی
Christo Sevov is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The Ohio State University (OSU), joining in 2017. He holds a B.S. from the University of Notre Dame (2009) and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley (2014), followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Michigan (2014–2017). His research focuses on sustainable energy solutions at the interface of homogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry. Key areas include electrically-driven catalytic processes for organic synthesis, valorization of abundant feedstocks, and large-scale energy storage systems like redox flow batteries.
He leads the Sevov Lab, which trains students in organic synthesis, materials development, and electroanalytical methods. Notable projects include designing earth-abundant metal catalysts, scalable battery materials, and methods to replace toxic reagents with benign alternatives. Recent work highlights include nickel-mediated coupling reactions, cobalt-based coordination complexes, and electrochemical recycling of plastics.
Publications emphasize advancements in electrocatalysis, battery chemistries, and sustainable chemical processes. His research contributes to renewable energy integration and green chemistry principles. The lab actively seeks motivated graduate and undergraduate students in organic chemistry, catalysis, and energy storage.
