Biography:
Alexander D. James received a Masters in Chemistry with Environmental and Sustainable Chemistry from the University of Edinburgh in 2012. He then received a Ph.D. for his work on the impacts of meteoric material on planetary atmospheres from the University of Leeds, in 2017. The focus of this thesis, supervised by John Plane, was heterogeneous catalysis of atmospheric processes including uptake, reaction and nucleation of crystallisation. Alexander then secured an ERC Proof of Concept grant to work on exhaust catalysis in collaboration with the School of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Leeds, which forms the basis of this presentation.
Title : A novel, low cost material for automotive catalysis
