Prior to his appointment at UEF he was a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi and Research Director of Cewic at the Thule Institute at University of Oulu (Finland). Prior to joining Cewic, he was an Associate Professor of Environmental Chemistry in the Division of Environmental Science and Engineering at National University of Singapore (NUS). He obtained his PhD in Environmental Chemistry from CalTech, USA in 1994 and he worked at University of Cincinnati as an Assistant Professor for five years, before joining NUS in 1999. His research interests are environmental photochemistry, materials chemistry including corrosion chemistry and applied kinetics and photochemistry in environmental aquatic systems.
Currently his research group is conducting research on aluminium-silicon compound hydrolysis kinetics and metal corrosion in marine systems as well as in simulated drinking water systems as well as on applied catalysis in photocatalytic systems. Dr. Pehkonen has published approximately 90 peer-reviewed research articles in the above areas in top journal such as E S & T, Corrosion Science, J. Electrochem. Soc., Chemical Engineering Science and Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, and he also has authored four critical review articles in the above areas. He is a member of American Chemical Society (ACS).показать меньше
