Jacinto Sá is the Modern Heterogeneous Catalysis Group leader at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw. He received his M.Sc from the Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal, and his Ph.D from The University of Aberdeen, Scotland. His work in using accelerator-based light sources to diagnose the mechanisms by which important catalytic processes proceed, and in conventional ultrafast laser sources, make him one of the most experienced researchers in the world in this area. Widely published and respected, Dr. Sá received an R&D 100 Award for his work with the CenTACat Group, Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Reviews for Fuel Production with Heterogeneous Catalysis

... gives a global vision of an important, emergent research issue. ... To the best of my knowledge, no other books published so far cover all the main catalytic processes for fuel production. -Eduardo J. Garcia-Suarez, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby
