Yves Schuurman

Yves Schuurman is a Researcher at the Institute of Research on Catalysis and Environment of Lyon (IRCELYON), affiliated with Claude Bernard University Lyon 1. He serves as deputy manager of the Engineering from Material to Reactor department. His research spans multiple areas of catalysis and chemical engineering with a focus on sustainable energy solutions.

Dr. Schuurman's research interests center on catalytic processes for energy applications, particularly in the areas of hydrogen production, biomass conversion, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. His work combines experimental approaches with kinetic modeling to understand reaction mechanisms at a fundamental level while addressing practical challenges in reactor design and catalyst development. He has made significant contributions to understanding CO₂ hydrogenation, biogas reforming, and sustainable fuel production through catalytic processes.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on sustainable energy conversion technologies, with particular expertise in catalytic reactor design, kinetic modeling, and in situ characterization techniques. His research bridges fundamental science with practical applications in energy transition technologies.

Dr. Schuurman actively collaborates with numerous researchers across multiple institutions, supervising students like Valentin L'Hospital and working within the broader catalysis research community at IRCELYON.

He utilizes advanced characterization methods including SSITKA, FT-IR spectroscopy, and isotopic labeling to investigate reaction mechanisms. His work often involves high-throughput experimentation and microkinetic modeling approaches to develop more efficient catalytic processes for energy applications.
