Alban CHAPPAZ (research engineer at CEA) holds a PhD in Catalysis (2014) from a partnership between Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon and IFPEN. He then completed a post-doc dedicated to catalyst and process design for lignocellulosic biomass valorization into useful building blocks. Since 2016, he is a research engineer at CEA where he is in charge of designing heat exchanger reactors and performing continuous reactor testing for various catalytic reactions. Among these reactions, his research focused on highly exothermal reactions such as CO2 hydrogenation into gas and liquids (methanol, olefins, hydrocarbons…) or LOHC hydrogenations and highly endothermal reactions such as LOHC dehydrogenation, methane pyrolysis or reverse water gas shift.
