CS completed his bachelor and master programs in chemistry at the Westfälische Wilhelmsuniversität Münster, Germany right after finishing school in 2011. For his master thesis in 2016, jointly supervised by PD Dr. Hubert Koller and Prof. Dr. Michael Ryan Hansen at the Institute for Physical Chemistry, he investigated how different synthesis and modifications impact zeolite structures and active sites. In his PhD work starting in 2017, which began shortly after in the same group, he went deep into predicting, measuring, and quantifying hydrogen bond interactions of Brønsted acid sites and silanol nests in a large variety of zeolite structures by use of solid-state NMR, culminating with a PhD in 2021.

Since January 2022, he works as a post-doc in the CADRE group at TU Wien, eager to finally see catalysts at work in STO reactions and learn more about the vast topics of chemical engineering and catalysis.

When he is not writing for work, CS works on his writing while drinking way too much tea.

Stylianos Spyroglou comes from Thessaloniki, Greece. In 2021, he received a Master of Engineering in the field of Chemical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. After that, he worked in a 4-month internship on synthesizing high surface area materials for CO₂ utilization at TU Wien and came back here a few months later in May 2022 to start his PhD on a similar topic, utilizing induction heating as a novel approach to provide heat to the reactor.
