Zholobenko_Vladimir

I was appointed as a lecturer at Keele University in 1998, following postdoctoral research at UMIST (Manchester, UK), Northwestern University (Evanston, US) and N.D.Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry (Moscow, USSR).

vladimir image My research is concerned with catalysis by zeolites and nanostructured materials and spectroscopic methods of their characterisation.

I am a member of the Research Institute for the Environment, Physical Sciences
and Applied Mathematics (EPSAM).

See the Zeolite Research Group website for more information.
