Gulaim Seisenbaeva
Professor of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry

Presentation

Gulaim A. Seisenbaeva received her PhD degree in inorganic chemistry in 1989 from the Moscow State University. She worked in the industries after graduation and was appointed a Senior Researcher at the Moscow State Academy of Fine Chemical Technology in 1993. She made her postdoc work at Stockholm University in 1996. Since 2000 she was Senior Researcher at SLU in Uppsala, where she obtained her Habilitation degree in Materials Chemistry in 2004 and later was promoted to Full Professor in Inorganic and Physical Chemistry.  Her major research focus is on design, synthesis and characterization of inorganic and hybrid porous nanomaterials with applications for energy and environment.

Different types of porous materials produced by precursor directed synthesis.

Research interests:

  • Synthesis and structure elucidation of molecular precursors
  • Precursor directed synthesis of porous materials
  • Tailoring functional hybrid adsorbents for water remediation and hydrometallurgy
  • Application of porous oxides as alkali ion battery materials

More details can be found in the Research Summary.

Dr Seisenbaeva is involved in the EU projects EuRARE and Bac-coat, Swedish Research Council project “Molecular Precursors and Molecular Models of Nanomaterials”, Swedish Research Council Formas project “Nanotechnology as Innovative Tool against Insect Pests”. In addition, she teaches at the courses in General Chemistry for undergraduate students, and also PhD courses in Electron Microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy and Thermal Analysis for the Organism Biology Research School.
