Vadim Guliants

Vadim V. Guliants is a Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, where he has held various academic and administrative roles since 1999. His career includes serving as Chair of the Chemical Engineering Program (2007–2010) and as Department Head. He earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering (with Chemistry emphasis) from Princeton University in 1995, following a M.A. from Princeton (1993) and a Diploma in Chemistry from Moscow State University (1987).

Dr. Guliants' research focuses on catalysis, materials science, and environmental engineering. Key areas include:

• Design of nanostructured catalysts for propane ammoxidation and hydrogen production
• Development of advanced membranes for gas separations (e.g., CO₂/N₂, hydrogen)
• Environmental remediation technologies for wastewater treatment and heavy metal removal
• Energy conversion processes like water-gas shift reactions

His work bridges fundamental science and industrial applications, with over 150 peer-reviewed publications and significant grant funding from federal agencies (NSF, DOE), state programs, and industry partners. Recent grants include projects on carbon capture, rare earth recovery from coal byproducts, and catalytic hydrogen production.

Collaborations include multidisciplinary teams at the University of Cincinnati and institutions worldwide. His research emphasizes sustainable solutions for energy and environmental challenges through innovative materials and catalytic systems.
