About Us
"Hungry for Science!"
The Razdan Group is focused on developing catalytic technologies that enable global decarbonization of the chemical industry and energy sector. We are an interdisciplinary group that leverages fundamental concepts native to heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry to clarify mechanistic understanding of complex energy-conversion systems. From these basic learnings, we formulate catalytic technologies that sustainably produce high-value fuels and chemicals. Follow Research to learn more about our ongoing research efforts.
