Luis Cardenas

Luis Cardenas is a Researcher at the Institute of Catalysis and Environment of Lyon (IRCELYON), affiliated with University of Lyon 1. His work focuses on Heterogeneous Catalysis for Energy Transition (CATREN), integrating thermodynamic, analytical, and reaction approaches to address environmental challenges through pollutant recovery and catalytic processes.

• Research Areas: Catalysis, Sustainable Chemistry, CO2/CH4 conversion, Environmental Chemistry, Atmospheric Reactivity, Analytical Techniques (microcalorimetry, spectroscopies, microscopies).

His research emphasizes in situ and operando characterization of molecular materials, bridging model molecules to real-world applications in energy transition and pollution control. He contributes to platforms like IRCATECH and participates in scientific events such as VALOTHERBIO and Journée de l’institut.
