Pavel Kots is an Assistant Professor at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, focusing on addressing the challenges of plastic waste through his research in sustainable catalytic processes. His work aims to redefine plastic waste as a resource, contributing to the circular economy by developing technologies that sustainably transform waste plastic into new commodities. Kots's research involves leveraging catalysis and reaction engineering to create innovative processes that upcycle and recycle various types of plastic, addressing environmental pollution and economic loss associated with landfilling and incineration. He applies a goal-oriented strategy that combines chemical engineering, heterogeneous catalysis, organic and physical chemistry, material science, and process intensification. His recent accomplishments include exploring reactor design and catalyst preparation to enhance the efficiency and selectivity of plastic conversion processes. Kots has extensive experience as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Delaware and as a process development engineer at Evonik.
