Opportunities

I am currently seeking a highly motivated PhD student whose background and interests align with some of our research directions in thermochemical energy conversion, methane pyrolysis, or carbon materials. Strong preparation in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or materials science — especially with experience in combustion, catalysis, thermal systems, or heterogeneous reactions modeling — will be a good fit. If you are interested in pursuing doctoral research in these areas, please get in touch with me directly at franciscocepeda@oakland.edu. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and value diverse perspectives in our group. 

Motivated OU undergraduate students are welcome to participate in research projects in the E-Carbon Lab. If you are curious about clean energy, advanced materials, or computational modeling, there are opportunities to get involved at many levels.
