Constantine Tsounis
Title
Scientia PhD Scholar
Bio
Constantine Tsounis is a Scientia PhD Scholar in the School of Chemical Engineering, UNSW, working in the Particles and Catalysis Research Group, supervised by Prof. Rose Amal. His research focus is on catalyst development for sustainable energy production (Power-to-X). In 2019, after winning the Peter Farrell Cup, Constantine co-founded a VC-backed startup, switcH2 engineering, a rapid research translation company using catalyst technology to convert organic industrial waste into hydrogen, a clean burning fuel.
Constantine has a passion for entrepreneurship and research translation. As a visiting scholar at CSIRO Manufacturing, he is currently working to develop advanced catalytic materials for energy conversion reactions using industrially scalable synthesis methods. Previously as an Innovation Community Ambassador in the Faculty of Engineering UNSW (2017), Constantine had the opportunity to support the research commercialization lifecycle, from conceptualization to application. As a presently elected member to the Faculty of Engineering Board and University Council (2020), he works to ensure that higher degree research students not only achieve world-class research outcomes but have embedded opportunities for professional skill development and personal growth.
Constantine received his Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical, Hons I) from UNSW in 2018, receiving numerous scholarships and awards including the Royston Award in Chemical Engineering, the Lyceum Club award, and a Tokyo Institute of Technology Research Scholarship.
He is a member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, previously acting as the Treasurer for the NSW committee (2019), now focussing on student outreach and STEM advocacy.
