Enrique Iglesia

This researcher studies heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on how chemical reactions occur on the surfaces of solid catalysts such as metal nanoparticles (Ru, Co, Ni, Pt, Pd), metal oxides (MoOx, ZrO2, ceria-zirconia), and zeolites. Much of the work identifies the specific molecular steps and active sites responsible for reactions like alkane dehydrogenation, CO2 hydrogenation, alkene metathesis, and selective oxidation, combining detailed kinetic measurements with mechanistic reasoning. This research is relevant to designing more efficient, selective catalysts for energy and chemical production processes.

Publication output has declined from around 10-17 papers per year in 2017-2020 to roughly 4-8 papers per year in recent years, suggesting a slowing but still active and steady output.
