Working at the interface of advanced materials, catalysis and sustainable process development, focusing on technologies for a carbon-neutral and circular economy. My research spans hydrogen production and utilization, CO₂ capture and conversion, catalysis, electrocatalysis, electrolysis, advanced sorbents, biochar, nanomaterials and hydrogels. I translate materials innovation into practical technologies through reactor and electrolyzer development, prototyping, process intensification, scale-up and demonstration. I head the Laboratory for Demonstration of H₂ and CO₂ Technologies (L52) at the National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia, and have extensive experience in industrial RDI through national and international programmes and direct contractual cooperation.
