Biography:
Maria Konnova is a Research Associate at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (QEERI), Qatar. Her research focuses on heterogeneous catalysis, sustainable chemical recycling of plastic waste, hydrogen storage technologies, and circular economy solutions. She has authored 17 peer-reviewed publications (h-index 11) and is actively developing catalytic systems for PET, polycarbonate, and mixed-plastic depolymerization, as well as sustainable liquid organic hydrogen carriers. Her current work integrates catalyst design, microwave-assisted chemical recycling, process intensification, and life cycle assessment to develop scalable and sustainable technologies for resource recovery and clean energy applications.
Title : Catalytic potential and practical limitations of N-doped nanomaterials in plastic depolymerization
