Eric Puzenat

Dr. Eric Puzenat is a full-time Researcher at Université Lyon 1's Institute of Chemistry and Biology of the Environment (ICBE), specializing in heterogeneous catalysis for energy transition. His work focuses on atmospheric chemistry, pollutant degradation, and sustainable conversion of CH4/CO2 through molecular pathway analysis and advanced characterization techniques.

• Key affiliations: CATREN research group (Catalysis for Energy Transition)
• Current projects: Thermochemical valorization of biomass/waste (VALOTHERBIO thematic school)

Research interests include:

• Atmospheric catalysis and surface reactivity
• Environmental electron microscopy (ESEM/ETEM)
• Thermodynamic and kinetic modeling of catalytic processes
• Materials with controlled porosity for separation processes
• Deep learning applications in catalysis

Recent work examines nighttime oxidation mechanisms in atmospheric chemistry, combining lab experiments with environmental modeling. His technical expertise spans microcalorimetry, Raman spectroscopy, and operando characterization platforms.
