Prof. Kyriaki Polychronopoulou is a Full Professor at Khalifa University's College of Engineering and a Visiting Professor at ETH-Zurich. She founded the UAE's first Catalysis and Separation Center (CeCaS) and focuses on energy transition technologies including hydrogen production, CO2 conversion, and biofuels development.
- MSc Mechanical Engineering, University of Cyprus (2008)
- PhD Chemistry, University of Cyprus (2005)
- BSc Chemistry, University of Cyprus (2000)
Her research spans heterogeneous catalysis (H2, CO2, NH3, Biofuels), emphasizing reaction mechanisms, surface phenomena, and material microstructure. She integrates computational catalysis with experimental approaches and explores mechanochemistry for sustainable catalytic systems.
