Learn more about our Research..
Our research encompasses the diverse fields of chemistry, materials science, biology, and chemical and biomedical engineering. We embark on a comprehensive exploration of scientific disciplines, covering a wide spectrum of areas
In the domain of chemistry, our efforts are focused on the development of catalysts for biomass gasification, particularly for the production of hydrogen to fuel cutting-edge fuel cells
Funded by NSF-CREST Bioenergy Center
Concurrently, we delve into biology through cell culture studies conducted on modified surfaces, with a primary
aim to advance the creation of innovative sensors, bioreactors for drug toxicity screening, and scaffolds tailored for various cell biology applications.
Funded by: DoD-Army for Detection of Threat Agents
Our materials science initiatives are dedicated to engineering novel molecules and materials designed for the direct capture of CO2 from the atmosphere
Funded by: DOE-BES for Direct Air CO2 capture
We are pioneering research into the catalytic deconstruction of plasma-treated plastics, transforming them into value-added chemicals and materials
Funded by: DOE-EERE for Non-thermal Plasma-treated Plastics for Catalytic Deconstruction and Upcycling.
