Prof. Carsten Sievers is a professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech. Prof. Sievers’ expertise spans heterogeneous catalysis, reactor design, applied spectroscopy, and the synthesis and characterization of solid materials. By bridging fundamental science with applied engineering, his research aims to develop innovative catalytic processes for producing fuels and chemicals, especially from renewable resources like biomass. In his fundamental studies, Prof. Sievers uses advanced spectroscopic techniques to uncover how catalysts work on a molecular level. This insight guides the design of more effective and robust catalysts. His applied research focuses on optimizing catalytic processes in continuous reactor systems, with applications ranging from biomass conversion to selective oxidation of methane. Prof. Sievers has authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications and has significantly contributed to catalysis in petroleum refining, fine chemical synthesis, and renewable energy. He also serves as Editor of Applied Catalysis A: General and has held numerous leadership roles in major professional societies including ACS, AIChE, and the Southeastern Catalysis Society, as well as Chair of the 29th North American Catalysis Society Meeting.
