ORCID: 0000-0003-4599-3969
Andrei Y. Khodakov graduated from the Moscow State University in 1987, received his PhD degree in 1991 from the N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemisitry in Moscow and his Habilitation (Dr Sci.) degree in 2002 from the University of Lille. In 1992-1999, Dr. Andrei Y. Khodakov acquired experience in top academic and industrial institutions in the United States, in France and in the UK. Currently Dr Andrei Khodakov is a CNRS Research Director in the UCCS CNRS laboratory in the University of Lille and Centrale Lille Institute. He is interested in the C1 chemistry (methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide) and biomass transformation using new synthetic, spectroscopic, reaction engineering and modeling tools. His research addresses design of efficient catalytic materials for synthesis of fuels and chemicals from renewable and fossil resources using thermo- and photocatalysis.
