Aram Bugaev obtained his PhD in Chemistry and Materials Sciences from the University of Turin (Italy) in 2017, followed by a Habilitation Degree in Physics from the Southern Federal University (Russia) in 2021. Since 2023 he joined the operando group as postdoctoral research fellow. His research is focused on the operando characterization of homogenous and heterogenous catalysts by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Aram has conducted more than 100 experiments at leading synchrotron radiation facilities in Europe. Additionally, he specializes in the development of novel analytical approaches, including those integrating machine learning algorithms.
