Mirza Cokoja

Mirza Cokoja is a researcher at the Catalysis Research Center (CRC) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and School of Natural Sciences. His work focuses on developing supramolecular catalysts for biphasic organic reactions, particularly using surface-active ionic liquids (SAIL) and micellar systems. Key research themes include epoxidation, CO₂ valorization, and catalyst design for industrial scalability.

His research emphasizes self-assembled supramolecular aggregates (e.g., micelles) acting as 'nanoreactors' to enhance catalytic activity and product selectivity. Recent studies address long-term catalyst stability, reusability, and application in eco-friendly processes. Major contributions include advancements in ionic liquid surfactants, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and cluster-based catalytic systems.

Publications highlight innovations in phase-transfer catalysis, dynamic micellar systems, and catalyst immobilization strategies. His work bridges fundamental catalysis with practical applications in sustainable chemistry.
