Rubik Asatryan

Rubik Asatryan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University at Buffalo (School of Engineering and Applied Sciences). He holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Lomonosov Moscow State University (1982), a Diploma in Chemistry from Yerevan State University (1976), and a Pre-Diploma in Theoretical Chemistry from the Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds (1975–1976). His research focuses on computational chemistry, chemical kinetics, combustion and pyrolysis, organometallic chemistry, catalysis, and biocatalysis.

His work emphasizes fundamental studies of radical mechanisms, lignin pyrolysis, and catalytic processes in combustion. Recent publications highlight innovations in hydrogen atom transfer reactions, kinetic modeling for alkanes, and the environmental impacts of pyrolysis-derived free radicals. He has no listed scientific awards, students, or grants in the provided data. His research is supported by experimental and theoretical approaches, often involving advanced reactor systems like laser-powered pyrolysis setups.
