Oleg S. Alexeev

Oleg S. Alexeev is a Research Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing, University of South Carolina. His work focuses on fundamental catalytic processes involving metal clusters on supports, with emphasis on catalyst structure-characterization relationships. He holds a Ph.D. from the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis (Russia) and an M.S. from Novosibirsk State University (Russia).

Research interests include metal-support interface structure, promoter effects on catalytic properties, and application of advanced spectroscopic techniques (TPD, TPR, FTIR, XPS, HRTEM, XRD, UV-Vis, EXAFS) for catalyst analysis. His studies aim to correlate catalytic properties with cluster size, active site structures, and support interactions.

Selected publications highlight contributions to supported platinum/iridium clusters, bimetallic catalysts, and cluster carbonylation mechanisms. His work integrates chemisorption data with spectroscopic insights to advance catalysis fundamentals. No awards are explicitly listed, though his publications indicate significant contributions to the field. No advising/grants details are provided, but his research lab focuses on experimental catalytic material characterization techniques.
