Ioannis V. Yentekakis

Ioannis V. Yentekakis is a Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Technical University of Crete (TUC), leading the Physical Chemistry & Chemical Processes Laboratory. His roles include coordinating interdisciplinary research programs focused on catalysis, nanotechnology, and environmental chemistry. He holds editorial positions in journals like Nanomaterials and Frontiers in Environmental Chemistry, and has organized major symposia such as the 16th Panhellenic Symposium on Catalysis.

Education: PhD (1987) and Diploma (1983) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Patras.
Research Focus: Heterogeneous catalysis, nanostructured catalysts for environmental applications, CO2 management (capture/utilization), fuel cells, and reactor design. Key areas include emissions control (DeNOx, CO, H2S), electrochemical promotion, and energy production from biogas.

Grants & Projects: Coordinator of €2.45M Flagship Action on Sustainable Materials (2023–2025), €220K CO2 Recycling Project (2023–2026), and multiple EU-funded initiatives like Eco-Bio-H2-FCs (€1M) and ECO-ETHYLENE (€275K).

Labs/Teams: Leads the Physical Chemistry and Chemical Processes Lab (https://www.pccplab.tuc.gr). Collaborates with industry and international partners in catalytic innovation.
