Biography
My research endeavors encompass both fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis and process system engineering. During my graduate and postdoctoral research, I worked on catalyst development, reaction kinetics, process simulation, mathematical modeling and multi-objective optimization. In applications, my research has focused on thermochemical conversion of biomass and petroleum residues into fuels and chemicals, hydrolysis and biodegradation of waste wood, and product recovery using a liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed ion-exchange system.
Research Interests
My research interests have been primarily focused on understanding the factors controlling the properties, reactivity, and selectivity of supported metal catalysts for conversion carbon residues into value added products. I have also assimilated experimental investigations and mechanistic modeling approaches in my work to transform qualitative observations into predictive science.
