Adhika Setiawan

Graduate student


B.S. Chemical Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison

M.S. Chemical Engineering, Purdue University, IN


Adhika employs density functional theory (DFT) and microkinetic modeling to elucidate the mechanism of ethylene oxidation on supported and promoted Ag catalysts. 

Chin-Fei Chang

Graduate student

BS. 

MS. 


Chin-Fei employs cheminformatics and machine learning to study problems in molecule and reaction design problems. This includes elucidating plastics upcycling, designing hydrogen carriers, and discovering synthetically feasible covalent organic frameworks.

Aojie Li

Graduate student

BS.

MS.


Aojie employs DFT and microkinetic modeling to study catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH). 

Johari Dramiga

Graduate student

BS

MS


Johari employs DFT and microkinetic modeling to study the effect of impurities in electrochemical CO2 conversion and water splitting. This includes studying the effect of inorganic impurities in hydrogen evolution reaction and the effect of SO2 on CO2 reduction in solid oxide electrochemical cells. 

Siddharth Prabhu

Graduate student (co-advised with Prof. Mayuresh Kothare)


Siddharth employs machine learning and data science to recover the underlying differential equations from time series data of chemical processes for application in process design, optimization, and control.
