Presentation title: Carbon-based materials for electrocatalysis: tailored functionalities towards activity and selectivity
Paula Colavita received her undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Trieste. She completed her PhD in Physical Chemistry in 2005 at the University of South Carolina and carried out postdoctoral research work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2008 she joined the School of Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin where she is currently a Professor and a College Fellow. Her team focuses on understanding and achieving control of interfacial processes and reactions, as well as on the application of advanced functional surfaces to address important scientific and technological challenges in electrocatalysis and materials chemistry.
From construction and electronics, through to energy and medicine; materials science and engineering has made significant and enduring contributions to the lives of every human being. The Materials Today ‘Materials in Society’ lecture series reveals how materials science is tackling real world issues; exploring the huge improvements the applications of research make to the way we live and work today.
