Dr Ewa MAREK

Associate Professor, University of Cambridge

Dr Ewa Marek holds an Associate Professor position at the Chemical Engineering Department where she has worked since 2019, after five years spent as a post-doctoral associate at the Engineering Department.

Before arriving at Cambridge, Ewa worked for six years on industrial R&D and advanced measurement methods in Nottingham (UK), Petten (Netherlands) and Warsaw (Poland). She studied energy and chemical processing (BEng, MSc) in Cracow and carbon capture processes (PhD) in Katowice (both in Poland).

At the University of Cambridge, Ewa actively participates in multiple projects on the sustainable production of power and chemicals, collaborating across departments and Interdisciplinary Research Centres, such as Energy IRC, Cambridge Zero, Centre for Climate Repair. She also leads the Departmental Green Impact Team.

During her visit to Singapore, Dr Marek will work together with Asst Prof Liu Wen (Paul) on CO2 hydrogenation to methanol using only renewable resources and CO2 captured from air. Their ongoing work focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of the hydrogenation reaction, which can be manipulated by steering catalyst-support interactions. This visit will be the second exchange between the two groups; the first one was the experimental work conducted by George Fulham earlier in 2023 at CARES. They are now preparing a joint publication and follow-up experiments with methanol synthesis carried out at varied pressures.
