Olena Ischenko

Olena Ischenko is a Professor at the Physical Chemistry Department, Faculty of Chemistry, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her career spans over three decades at the same institution, starting as an Assistant (1984-1989), progressing through Associated Professor (1989-2005), and attaining her current Professor position in 2005. She holds a Doctor of Sciences degree in heterogeneous catalysis (2004) and has focused on catalytic transformation of small molecules using 3d- and 4d-element systems.

• Education: MSc-equivalent in Chemistry (1980), PhD (1985) in heterogeneous catalysis, Doctor of Sciences (2004)
• Research: Synthesis of metal/oxide materials for NH3 synthesis, CO oxidation, and CO2 hydrogenation

Her research involves structural analysis of catalytic systems, preparation methods, and support impacts, with development of mass spectrometric studies in heterogeneous catalysis. She teaches courses in Physical Chemistry, Statistical Methods, and Mass Spectrometry.

Recent publications focus on CO2 methanation, nanooxide interactions, and bimetallic catalyst systems. Key keywords include heterogeneous catalysis, CO2 conversion, nanomaterials, and transition metal alloys. She has not been explicitly associated with any scientific awards in the text.

Her academic work connects fundamental physical chemistry with practical applications in environmental technology and energy conversion, particularly in carbon dioxide utilization through catalytic hydrogenation processes.
