Researcher

Juan Manuel Arce-Ramos is a Senior Scientist in the Sustainable Chemistry & Catalysis Group within the Department of Materials Science and Chemistry at A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC). He specialises in applying quantum chemical tools to heterogeneous catalysis. Arce-Ramos earned his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, Mexico, in 2015, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering. His expertise lies in molecular simulations, with a focus on adsorption processes and surface reactions on various materials, including metal surfaces and complex metal oxides. By integrating traditional computational methods with innovative approaches, Arce-Ramos aims to advance the understanding of catalytic systems and accelerate the development of new catalysts.
