Ib Chorkendorff is a Danish Physicist and professor at DTU Physics at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet since 1999.

Chorkendorff are educated in physics and chemitry at Odense Universitet from 1977-1982. He wrote his PhD thesis in physics from his alma matra. From 1986-1987 he was employeed as postdoc at University of Pittsburgh in USA. When returned from USA he was hired as lektor at DTU in 1987. He was in this possion to 1999, whreafter he was hired as a professor. From 1999 to 2005 he was manager of Interdisciplinary Research Center for Catalysis (ICAT) and hereafter The Centre of fundamental research for Individual Nanoparticle Functionality from 2005 til 2015. In 2016 won the contest of 150 millioner DKK from Villum Fonden to establish a new research centre called; Villum Center for Science of Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals, and Chorkendorff. was announced director.

Chorkendorff has through his carrier worked with all aspects ofkatalyse, overfladefysik, classic heterogen katalyse, elektrokatalyse and fotokatalyse. He has taken out several patents patenter, and contributed to more than 250 scientific articles. Chorkendorff has worked closely together with a nother danish scientist Jens Nørskov. Together with the professor Hans Niemantsverdriet from Eindhovens Tekniske Universitet he published the book Concepts in modern catalysis and kinetics.

In 2019 he received Julius Thomsens Guldmedalje.
