Prof. Monika Motak is the Dean of the Faculty of Energy and Fuels at the AGH – University of Science and Technology in Kraków (Cracow), Poland.

She is also the Head of the Group for Catalytic and Adsorption Processes in Energy and Environmental Protection at the Faculty of Energy and Fuels.

Her research focusses on the development of innovative and original catalytic materials for environmental and climate protection applications.

Special interest is paid on the use of nano-oxide materials based on nickel modified hydrotalcite as catalysts for dry reforming of methane (DRM), tri-reforming and methanation, and the optimization of the methods of preparation of active and selective catalysts for the DeNOx process obtained by the intercalation of natural montmorillonite with aluminium oxide and modification with carbon layer, or hydrotalcites containing incorporated transition metals operating at low temperature range.

Prof. Monika Motak is a member of the Polish Club of Catalysis, the Polish Chemical Society.
