Personal profile

Academic background

Ariq Attallah studied Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at the Technical University of Eindhoven (TU/e), whereby he did his BSc. thesis on perovskite solar cells in the group of prof.dr.ir. René Janssen. He then continued his master's studies at TU/e, focusing on the Chemical Process Technology (CPT) track of the Chemical Engineering and Chemistry department. During that time, he also obtained an extra MSc. certificate on Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, and was involved in the Honors Academy. Ariq conducted his MSc. thesis under the Inorganic Materials and Catalysis research group, where his research was focused on catalysts for CO oxidation, led by prof.dr.ir. Emiel Hensen. His affiliation to the group continues to this day, in which he is a doctoral candidate.
