Biography
Dr Jorge Beltramini is a Senior Research Fellow with more than 25 years of experience in the main areas of Solid State Catalysis, Surface Characterisation, Material Science, Reactor Design and Modelling. He is a recognised authority in the field of catalysis sciences as testified by more than 130 scientific and technical papers delivered at international forums and published in internationally refereed journals. His present research interests include the development of new nanoporous siliceous and non-siliceous materials and their functionalisation to be used as catalysts for new sustainable green chemical technologies as well as innovative catalytic membrane reactors.
Research Interest
Dr Jorge Beltramini leads the Clean Energy and Green Chemistry Group at the Centre. Their primary areas of research interest includes the synthesis, manipulation, and the physical, chemical and catalytic characterisation of new nanomaterials for natural gas, coal, and biomass conversion into valuable chemicals, transportation fuels, clean hydrogen production; reformulation of heavy residues, waste plastic degradation into fuels and heterogenisation of homogeneous catalysis for fine chemicals production.
