معرفی
Samira Siahrostami is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Physics at Simon Fraser University (SFU), with an associated role in the Chemistry department. Her research focuses on computational catalysis, physical and theoretical chemistry, particularly in designing sustainable energy materials for electrochemical reactions. She leads a lab (www.siahrostamilab.com) exploring catalysts for CO2 reduction, hydrogen peroxide synthesis, and environmental remediation. Key contributions include machine learning-driven catalyst discovery and mechanistic studies of electrochemical reactions under varying conditions.
Her work bridges computational modeling with experimental validation, emphasizing descriptors for reaction selectivity and stability. Recent studies highlight innovations in nanostructured materials for energy applications, such as gold-modified nanoporous silicon and iridium oxide sites on carbon nitride. Collaborative efforts with industry and academic partners aim to translate fundamental insights into scalable technologies for clean energy and waste-to-resource processes.
Dr. Siahrostami's research portfolio includes over 50 peer-reviewed articles, with a focus on electrocatalysis for CO2 conversion, nitrate reduction, and hydrogen production. Her lab actively engages in interdisciplinary projects, combining materials informatics with advanced characterization techniques to optimize catalytic performance.
