Magdalena Titirici

Maria-Magdalena "Magda" Titirici (born March 24, 1977 in Bucharest ) is a Romanian chemist and professor in the field of sustainable energy materials at Imperial College London .

Life

Titirici was born in Bucharest , where she studied chemistry at the University of Bucharest and graduated in 1999. She then moved to Germany to do her doctorate in the field of molecularly imprinted polymers at the Technical University of Dortmund until 2005 . Titirici then worked as a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces . There she was promoted to group leader. In 2013 she received her habilitation at the same university. Shortly afterwards she moved to England to the Queen Mary University of London , where she started teaching. In 2014 she was finally promoted to professor. In 2019 she moved to Imperial College London at the Institute for Chemical Process Engineering. At this facility she leads a multidisciplinary research group in the field of sustainable energy materials.

Focus of work

Your group uses biomass and hydrothermal processes to make carbon products. She is interested in how these carbon nanomaterials produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) can catalyze electrocatalytic reactions, for example in water splitting. She is also researching electrodes for storing energy in lithium and sodium ion batteries . Overall, her research group is working on several projects with a focus on sustainable materials. She has published over 130 peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals. Titirici also contributed to the book Global Sustainability: A Nobel Cause .
