Embedded Files
The extended members of the YEuCat network help to make our events possbile by joining specific task forces. These task forces are usually directed at a specific event and are thus only active for a certain timeframe. This allows also people to join and contribute to YEuCat who are not ready for a two year commitment in the core team. Besides the event task forces, there are also several permanent ones related to communication, events & advertising and connection to other networks and societies. Get to know our extended YEuCat members by reading their profiles below!
Don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@youngcatalysis.net if you want to learn more about our currently active task forces and how to join them!
Andrea Gjetja
PhD Candidate, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Andrea is a PhD Candidate at Politecnico di Milano working in the Laboratory of Catalysis and Catalytic Processes (LCCP) research group. His research focuses on the kinetic analysis of NOx and N2O abatement with metal-exchanged zeolites.
Andrea joined YEuCat in 2025, helping to organize the second edition of the effects workshop in Milan
Bletë Hulaj
PhD candidate, TU Wien, Austria
Bletë is a PhD candidate at TU Wien, Austria, in the Institute of Applied Synthetic Chemistry. Her research focuses on the design and development of hybrid molecular-polymeric photocathodes for photoelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction.
Bletë joined YEuCAt in 2025 as part of the Communications team.
Dorottya Mikoczi
PhD candidate, TU Wien, Austria
Dorottya is a PhD candidate at TU Vienna at the Research Group for Sustainable Organic Chemistry and Catalysis. Her research focuses on developing sustainable methods in organic synthesis — in particular, using visible-light activation and organocatalysts to build active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Dorottya joined YEuCat in 2025 as part of the Connecting Societies team.
Estaban Gioria
Junior Group Leader, Institute of Chemical Technology, Germany
Esteban is a researcher at Institute of Chemical Technology, Universität Leipzig. His research focuses on development of metal silicates as highly active and stable catalysts for CO₂ valorization reactions, with particular emphasis on understanding metal–oxygen–silicon entities involved in CO₂ and CH₄ activation for sustainable catalytic processes.
Esteban joined YEuCat in early 2025.
Mehak Zahra
Climate Leadership Development Intern, Pakistan
Zahra is a Climate Leadership Development Intern on the "Smog-Free Punjab" project in Pakistan.
Zahra joined YEuCat in 2025.
Tomasz Skrzydło
PhD Candidate, University of Stavanger, Norway
Tomasz is a PhD at University of Stavanger at Department of Energy and Petroleum Technology. His research focuses on hydrogen production from methane cracking on metal- and non-metal-based catalysts.
Tomasz joined YEuCat after EuropaCat 2025.
