Nataliya Shcherban

Ph.D., Dr.Sc. Leading Researcher

Languages for professional communication:

Ukrainian, English

Description of the field of scientific research:

Nataliya is interested in developing new micromesoporous and hierarchical materials based on zeolites for use as catalysts for transforming bulk molecules, including renewable raw materials, to obtain valuable chemical compounds. She is studying the creation of bifunctional catalysts based on zeolites, carbon and others with metal nanoparticles to implement environmentally friendly one-pot cascade processes of fine organic synthesis. Nataliya is also interested in creating new metal-free materials based on carbon nitride for use in catalysis (condensation, oxidation, etc.) and photocatalysis (hydrogen production).

List of duties:

Nataliya is a leading researcher at the Department of Porous Substances and Materials.

Professional experience:

From 2006 to 2009, Nataliya was a PhD student at the Department of Porous Substances and Materials, Institute of Physical Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, then worked as a category I engineer in the same department for a year.

From 2010 to 2022, Nataliya was promoted from junior researcher to leading researcher at the Department of Porous Substances and Materials, Institute of Physical Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

In addition, Natalia is a reviewer for several foreign journals and a reviewer and opponent of Ph.D. and doctoral dissertations.
