Our group aims to develop catalytic materials that are utilized in sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. Using both catalysis and synthetic materials chemistry, we employ operando spectroscopic techniques and well-controlled catalyst synthesis methods. The goal of this research is to elucidate active site structures under reactive environments in order to design and develop improved catalysts.
