Marek Wójtowicz's Email & Phone

Dr. Wójtowicz has a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Brown University under the direction of Professor Eric Suuberg. Before joining AFR in 1993, he served as a postdoctoral research associate at the Delft University of Technology under Professor Jacob Moulijn, where his research concerned the evolution of nitrogen during coal pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion. Dr. Wójtowicz is currently a member of the Advisory Committee for the Chemical Engineering Program at Brown University and the Program Secretary of the American Chemical Society Division of Fuel Chemistry. Dr. Wójtowicz has strong expertise in fuel science, carbon materials, air-pollution control (NOx, N2O, SOx, mercury), solid-waste utilization, chemical reaction kinetics, and heterogeneous catalysis. Examples of research topics he has pursued are: experiments and modeling of reactions involved in coal and biomass pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion; diesel processing for use in fuel cells; hydrogen storage by adsorption on carbons with custom-engineered pore structure; the conversion of waste tires to value-added products (activated carbon for mercury sorption, carbon black); and the development of carbon electrodes for ultracapacitors (applications in hybrid and future-generation vehicles). Dr. Wójtowicz has more than 70 publications in these areas.
