About

Heterogeneous catalysts are widely used materials for chemical processing and fuel refining, and they will be crucial for the production of next-generation fuels. By studying the surface structure of heterogeneous catalysts, the mechanism of catalytic chemical reactions can be deduced, and thus improved catalysts for new reactions may be designed. My research combines synchrotron X-ray measurements and ab initio simulations to yield an improved picture of oxide-supported catalyst surfaces under relevant chemical environments.
