Research Interests
I investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions catalyzed by metal oxide surfaces, with the aim of generating catalysis rules pertaining to where and when the reaction occurs. My current project examines the effect that a metal oxide promoter on a metal surface has on the rate of hydrogenation of CO to methanol.
