Later, Mavrikakis was the recipient of the 2021 Robert Burwell Lectureship in Catalysis from the North American Catalysis Society. After serving as the

In 2015, Mavrikakis was appointed a Vilas
Distinguished Achievement Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering. While serving in this role, his research team arranged the nanoscale structure of particles to achieve more potent chemical reactions while using less material. The following year,
