معرفی
Yuya Kakiuchi is a Researcher at the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry (LAC) within ETH Zürich, focusing on surface and interfacial chemistry. His work integrates experimental and computational methodologies to advance catalytic systems and materials science. He holds a position under the Professur Ober-& Grenzflächen-Chem. (Surface and Interfacial Chemistry Professorship) and is based in HCI H 204, Vladimir-Prelog-Weg 1-5/10, Zürich, Switzerland.
His research interests span inorganic chemistry, catalysis, transition metal chemistry, and materials science. He employs advanced spectroscopic techniques such as EPR, XAS, and solid-state NMR, alongside computational tools like DFT and machine learning, to study catalyst structures and reaction mechanisms. Key themes include bimetallic intermediates (e.g., Ti-Al systems), ligand effects on catalytic activity, and the development of modular synthetic approaches for π-conjugated materials.
Recent publications (2022–2025) emphasize mechanistic insights into metathesis intermediates, Ziegler-Natta catalyst sites, and tungsten-catalyzed organic transformations. His work bridges fundamental spectroscopic analysis with applied catalysis for industrial and materials applications.
