Academic Achievements
- Focused on Brønsted acid zeolite catalysts for alcohol dehydration, including interactions between nearby Brønsted acid sites in CHA zeolites, differences between surface and bulk sites in MFI, and methanol and ethanol dehydration reactions. Also worked on Rh catalysts for NOx reduction, collaborating with the Christopher group at UCSB.
Research Experience
- During his Ph.D., he collaborated on various projects with the Gounder group at Purdue University, the Schwartz group at the University of Maine, and the Christopher group at UCSB. Postdoctoral research at MIT involved working with Prof. Rafa Gómez-Bombarelli, Prof. Yuriy Román-Leshkov’s group, and Dr. Manuel Moliner at ITQ in Valencia to study zeolite synthesis.
Education
- Earned a BS in Chemistry from the College of William and Mary in 2015; Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida under the guidance of Prof. David Hibbitts in 2022.
Background
- A chemical engineer with expertise in computational heterogeneous catalysis, chemical kinetics, and machine learning for chemistry.
Miscellany
- Enjoys cooking, playing sports (tennis, running, basketball, and swimming), watching classic films, reading, listening to music, and spending time with his wife Becca and dog Bella.
