Stephane Dumas

Stephane Dumas is a Teacher-researcher at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, affiliated with the Catalysis and Atmospheric Reactivity for the Environment (CARE) research team at Ircelyon (Institute for Research on Catalysis and the Environment of Lyon).

His research spans interdisciplinary domains including:

• Atmospheric Chemistry and nocturnal oxidation processes
• Heterogeneous Catalysis for energy transition (CH₄/CO₂ conversion, biomass valorization)
• Sustainable Chemistry and pollutant recovery in air/water systems
• Materials Science with controlled porosity and molecular materials
• Deep Learning applications in electron microscopy

Dumas specializes in integrated thermodynamic, analytical, and reaction methodologies, emphasizing in situ and operando characterization techniques (ESEM/ETEM, Raman spectroscopy, NMR, XRD). His work bridges model molecules to industrial catalysts, focusing on environmental applications like air/water pollution control and thermochemical biomass valorization. Current projects include VALOTHERBIO (October 2025), addressing catalytic processes for waste-to-energy conversion.

He actively contributes to Ircelyon's scientific community through events like the 2025 Institute Day and the IRCATECH characterization platform, advancing sustainable chemical engineering solutions for climate challenges.
