Brief Autobiographical Sketch

My name is Eduard Karslyan.

I had my first touch with chemistry in Moscow Chemical Lyceum #1303 (MCL) in 1999-2002. I graduated a M.Sc. in Chemistry from the Higher Chemical College (HCC RAS) of D.I.Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia in 2007. I earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from A.N.Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds (INEOS RAS) under the supervision of Prof. Alexander R. Kudinov and Prof. Dmitry S. Perekalin in 2010, where I continued as a Research Associate. I was a postdoc (6-month FCT grant) at Technical University of Lisbon in a group of Prof. A. Pombeiro in 2012.

Having moved from academic research to the oil & gas industry in 2013, I took the position of a Pre-sale and Technical Manager at Moscow Representative Office of Haldor Topsoe A/S. Being a member of Technology Group of Chemical Business Unit, I was responsible for marketing of ammonia, methanol, syngas, formaldehyde, and GTL technologies as well as coordinating Topsoe projects across FSU area.

I joined BASF Gas Treatment Department (BASF Russia) in 2015 and took the position of Sales Representative across FSU area (excl. Central Asia). The key products were BASF OASE® technologies for removal of acid gases from gas streams for the production of sales gas, LNG, APG, ammonia, and hydrogen. In Jan 2018 - Jul 2020 I was a Senior Sales & Technical Representative.

I moved to the Headquarters of BASF SE in Ludwigshafen am Rhein (Germany) in 2020 and became a Senior Technical Marketing Manager for OASE® gas treatment solutions at BASF SE. 

Since 2024 I have been a Senior Global Technology Manager for OASE® gas treatment solutions at BASF SE.
