Professor Dr. Paula Sebastián Pascual

Biography

Paula Sebastián Pascual is an Assistant Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in electrochemistry and nanostructured catalysts. Her academic journey includes a postdoc research position at the University of Copenhagen, during which she became a Villum Young Investigator. Her research focuses on understanding surface structures and catalytic properties, aiming to develop tailored methods for preparing nanostructured catalysts for electrocatalysis. Her work within the SurfDep group emphasizes the importance of surface electrochemistry and the effective production of renewable chemicals through electrochemical reactions. She leads a young research group dedicated to exploring new electrochemical strategies, including the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide and organic molecules, nanostructure electrodeposition, and hybrid electrolysis for hydrogen production. Her projects investigate the impact of catalyst structure and electrochemical conditions on the efficiency of electrocatalytic processes, making significant contributions to sustainable chemical production.
