Dmitry Lukyanov is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath, where he has been working since March 2000. He is affiliated with the Reaction and Catalysis Engineering research unit (RaCE) and the Centre for Integrated Materials, Processes & Structures (IMPS).
His research focuses on heterogeneous catalytic reactions, with particular emphasis on:
- Light alkanes reactions over bifunctional zeolite catalysts
- Conversion of biomass into transportation fuels and valuable chemicals
- Development of kinetic methods for quantitative analysis of acid sites
- Zeolite structure effects on alkane aromatisation mechanisms
- Benzene alkylation with ethane and methane
Lukyanov's research combines kinetic and IR spectroscopic studies with kinetic modeling of reactions. His work on bifunctional catalysis has led to significant discoveries including the selective alkylation of benzene with methane into toluene (2009) and stable methane conversion into ethane over platinum supported catalysts at moderate temperatures (2011).
His recent publications (2018-2019) show a strong focus on methanol and dimethyl ether conversion over ZSM-5 catalysts, with particular attention to induction periods, reaction mechanisms, and olefin formation.
Lukyanov actively supervises doctoral students in areas related to sustainable catalysis and hydrocarbon reactions over zeolite catalysts.
