Biography

Ivan Gladich received his master’s in physics from the University of Trieste and, afterwards, he was a post doc at Purdue University, USA, at the Academy of Science of Czech Republic, and at the International School for Advanced Studies, (SISSA), in Italy. He joined the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) in 2015. 

His main field of expertise is the use of computational physical chemistry tools for the investigation of molecular-level processes occurring at technological and atmospheric relevant interfaces.

 


Research Interests

  • Design of novel CO2 capture and mineralization pathways for the conversion of carbon dioxide in added-value products/chemicals.
  • Computational modelling of XPS spectra for applications in catalysis and (heterogeneous) chemistry, in general.
  • Free energy methods for the computations of thermodynamic and kinetic properties of chemical reactions.
  • Heterogeneous physicochemical processes on atmospheric aerosol interfaces by classical and first principle molecular dynamics.
