Seba Alareeqi is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Multiscale Reaction Engineering (MuRE) Group. Her research bridges fundamental catalysis, microkinetic modelling, with reactor- and process-level performance for sustainable energy applications. She holds a BSc in Chemical Engineering from The Petroleum Institute, UAE, and completed her MSc and PhD at Khalifa University of Science and Technology, focusing on the design and optimization of catalytic materials for sustainable fuels production. As part of her doctoral training, she undertook a research stay at Johns Hopkins University (USA), expanding her expertise in atomistic modeling and materials theory. She worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Research and Innovation Center on CO2 and Hydrogen (RICH center), contributing to sustainable fuels production. She is currently working at MuRE on the design of functionalized thermo- and electrocatalysts for energy conversion technologies.
My research focuses on multiscale reaction engineering, integrating first-principles modeling, microkinetic analysis, and process-level insights to design scalable catalytic systems. I am particularly interested in CO₂ valorization, sustainable fuels, and bio-oils upgrading, with an emphasis on predictive catalyst design, stability, and industrial relevance.
