Unlocking the Potential of Cationic Centers in Mixed Metal Oxides for Efficient Catalysis
A special lecture from the 2024 NYCS Excellence in Catalysis Awardee
Eranda Nikolla is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, MI. Her research interests focus on the development of heterogeneous catalysts for chemical/energy conversion and storage. As an integral part of engineering catalytic structures, Nikolla has implemented a paradigm which involves a combination of controlled synthesis, advanced characterization, kinetic measurements, and quantum chemical calculations to unearth the underlying mechanism that governs their catalytic performance for targeted reactions. Her group’s impact to catalytic science has been recognized through the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the Department of Energy Early Career Research Award, Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, the Young Scientist Award from the International Congress on Catalysis, the 2019 ACS Women Chemists Committee (WCC) Rising Star Award, the 2021 Michigan Catalysis Society Parravano Award for Excellence in Catalysis Research and Development, the 2022 ACS Catalysis Lectureship for the Advancement of Catalytic Science, and the 2023 Maria Flytzani-Stephanopoulos Award for Creativity in Catalysis.
Please RSVP for the upcoming meeting here.
In memoriam
John Byrne
John Byrne, a long serving director and treasurer for the NYCS, sadly passed away on August 10, 2022. John’s wife, Susan, suggested that because of John’s dedication and love for NYCS, that it would be fitting that if friends and colleagues wanted to make a donation in John’s name, one favorite cause of John’s would be to support the NYCS work.

Who we are
The Catalysis Society of Metropolitan New York (CSNY) is a non-profit organization founded in 1958 to promote and encourage the growth and development of the science of catalysis in the New Jersey and Metro New York areas. CSNY is a local chapter of the North American Catalysis Society (NACS).
We organize 7 monthly professional dinner seminar meetings of scientists - to report, discuss, and exchange information and viewpoints in the field of catalysis. We also organize an all-day Annual Symposium in the spring which features lectures from distinguished researchers and a poster session presented by university students working in the catalysis area.
