Magdalena (Magda) Titirici is a Professor of Chemistry at Queen Mary University of London.

Early life and education

Titirici was born in Bucharest, where she studied chemistry at the University of Bucharest and graduated in 1999.[1][2] She earned her PhD at the Technical University of Dortmund in 2005, working on molecularly imprinted polymers for her postgraduate studies.[3][4][5] She also worked at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz during her postgraduate studies .[2] She completed a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces.[2]

Research

Titirici joined Queen Mary University of London in 2013 as a Reader, before being promoted to Professor in 2014.[6] Her group use biomass and hydrothermal processes to create carbon products.[7] She is interested in how carbon nanomaterials produced in hydrothermal processes (HTC) can be used in electrocatalytical reactions, including oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution.[8] They also work on electrodes for energy storage in lithium and sodium ion batteries.[2] She leads a large research group who work on several projects focussed on sustainable materials.[9][10][11][12] They have published over 130 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.[13] She contributed to the book Global Sustainability: A Nobel Cause.[14]
