معرفی
Jerrik Mielby is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He is affiliated with the Inorganic Chemistry section within the Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry group, working out of Building 206, Room 158 at Chemistry Square, DTU Lyngby Campus.
Research Interests
Mielby’s research sits at the intersection of heterogeneous catalysis and sustainable chemistry, with a strong emphasis on designing advanced zeolite- and carbon-based nanomaterials that drive energy-efficient and environmentally benign transformations. His core activities encompass:
- Encapsulation and stabilization of metal nanoparticles inside tailored porous supports (zeolites, ordered mesoporous carbons, MOF-derived matrices).
- CO₂ valorisation routes such as methanation, alcohol synthesis, and low-temperature hydrogenation enabled by Ni-, Cu-, and Pd-based catalysts.
- Deep methane oxidation for emission control, focusing on sulfur-tolerant Pd/zeolite systems that withstand realistic exhaust conditions.
- Bioethanol upgrading via dehydrogenation and aromatisation over Zn- or Cu-promoted zeolite catalysts, bridging biomass conversion and fuel chemistry.
- Operando spectroscopic studies (modulation-excitation DRIFTS, XAS) that unravel active-site dynamics under reaction conditions.
Publication Profile
Since 2010, Mielby has co-authored more than 35 peer-reviewed papers spanning high-impact journals in catalysis and materials science. The body of work exhibits a clear temporal evolution from fundamental mechanistic studies of gold-catalysed oxidative coupling reactions to the latest 2025 publication on sulfur-tolerant methane oxidation catalysts. Collectively, the literature demonstrates sustained innovation in catalyst design, advanced characterisation, and process intensification for carbon-neutral fuel and chemical production.
Scientific Awards
While the provided text does not list specific honours, the breadth and longevity of Mielby’s publication record and his academic rank at DTU suggest recognition within the catalysis community.
