Ilker Tezsevin earned his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering at Middle East Technical University (Turkey). During his Ph.D., he worked on the computational investigation of the reaction mechanism of propylene partial oxidation, and design of a new catalyst for higher propylene oxide selectivity. His Ph.D. project was a collaboration between Eindhoven University of Technology and Middle East Technical University and he performed half of his studies in the Netherlands. His postdoctoral research focuses on the computational modeling and design of new catalytic materials for the efficient production of renewable fuels.
