Biography

Georgios Katsoukis is an Assistant Professor at the University of Twente, specializing in the research of electro-photocatalytic conversion processes. His work focuses on developing advanced spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis, infrared, and Raman spectroscopy to identify and quantify chemical constituents involved in catalytic interfaces. Katsoukis's research aims to translate molecular insights into the design of optimized catalytic systems for sustainable energy conversion, emphasizing 100% selectivity in ultrathin catalyst coatings. His postdoctoral research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory revolved around artificial photosynthesis and operando spectroscopy. He completed his PhD at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, where his studies centered on light absorbers, catalysts, and graphene charge-transfer. As an educator, Katsoukis is dedicated to preparing future scientists with an engaging and supportive education that connects fundamental principles to real-world applications, particularly in sustainable energy technologies. He offers guidance to students and applicants for fellowships to help them build independent research careers.
