Educational Background
- M.S., University of Moldova - Chisinau, 1975
- Ph.D., Institute of Electrochemistry of the Academy of Science of USSR, 1980
Research
My research interests are in the areas of Chemical Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Heterogeneous Catalysis. More specifically, the major effort is to apply the concept of stoichiometric uniqueness of multiple chemical reaction systems in chemical thermodynamics, kinetics and heterogeneous catalysis. My current preoccupations are focused on:
- Microkinetic Modeling in Heterogeneous Catalysis
- Reaction Route Graphs
- Reduction and Simplification of Complex Kinetic Mechanisms
- Accurate Thermochemistry from Group Additivity and Ab Initio Methods
- Stability of chemical species
