Georg Kastlunger

Georg Kastlunger is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), affiliated with the Surface Physics and Catalysis group and the Center for Catalysis Theory. His research focuses on electrocatalysis, CO2 reduction, and theoretical modeling of surface reactions. He has contributed to understanding reaction mechanisms in CO2 electrolysis, electrochemical barriers, and catalyst design.

• Education: PhD in Physics (inferred from role)
• Affiliations: DTU's Center for Catalysis Theory, Surface Physics Group

Research interests include computational electrochemistry, density functional theory (DFT) applications, and sustainable energy materials. Recent work explores tandem catalytic effects, non-Nernstian electrochemical phenomena, and biomass valorization. He supervises multiple PhD students investigating electrochemical reaction pathways and catalyst design.

Publications emphasize mechanistic insights into CO2 reduction, water adsorption on metals, and molecular dynamics simulations in alkaline environments. Projects include theoretical investigations of electrochemical oxidation reactions and computational discovery of clean energy materials.

• Advising: Supervising 5 PhD students (Giese, Jensen, Xu, Liu, Tsang)
• Grants/Projects: 6 active and completed projects on catalysis theory and electrochemical systems

Labs/Teams: Active in DTU's catalysis research groups, focusing on atomistic modeling and experimental-computational collaborations.
