Research Interest
To understand and rationalize heterogeneous catalytic activity and selectivity in terms of surface or catalytic site structure. Surface and/or site structure primarily requires spectroscopic characterization, but this is usually accompanied by physi- and chemisorption and model catalytic activity studies. We are currently investigating a variety of catalysts based on structured carbon supports, specifically on single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT and MWCNT).
