Postdoctoral Researcher in Nanomaterials and Autonomous Synthetic Chemistry in the Catalytic Carbon Transformation and Scale-Up Center at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), formerly known as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). My research focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of nanostructured catalysts for carbon transformation reactions, developing pathways to produce fuels and high-value specialty chemicals. My work integrates heterogeneous catalysis, autonomous synthetic chemistry, and reaction engineering to accelerate catalyst discovery, process optimization, and scalable chemical manufacturing. During my doctoral work in the Nanointerface Engineering Laboratory at the University of Utah, I focused on the design of next-generation catalysts for fuel production technologies and the synthesis of specialty chemicals. My broader scope primarily lied in catalyst and process optimization for industrial applications (i.e., Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), ammonia reforming, dry reforming of methane (DRM), Boudouard reaction), the integration of emerging manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing and electrochemical anodization, and the development of novel active phases.
