A very proud moment for my research group.🎉 We have finally completed the construction of a microTAP reactor system, which, to the best of my knowledge, is the first of its kind in the country. Our new system allows us to pulse reactant gases with microsecond time resolution +

I would like to extend a big thank you to Christian Reece from Harvard University, my friend and colleague, for providing all the details on building a low-cost microTAP reactor and making them publicly available. If you are interested building a TAP reactor, I highly recommend reading +

Very nice talk from Dr. Rebecca Fushimi, one of our keynote speakers, on transient methods in heterogeneous catalysis! 👏👏. #ICC2024

New preprint is out: arxiv.org/abs/2407.13643! Here, we present a multimodal technique for understanding surface roughening in nanoparticle catalysts using CO-DRIFTS, X-ray absorption (XAS), and machine learned force fields. The expt. methods provide disparate insights into the 🧵

Please share broadly. My group UCLA Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering will be recruiting graduate students to begin in Fall 2025. Research topics include heterogeneous catalysis and reaction engineering. Deadline to apply Dec 31. See our website (stchavez2.wixsite.com) and attached document for details.

Our latest research on catalytic oxidation over dilute-limit PdAu alloys is now available in Journal of Catalysis! Here we show that Pd promotes ethanol esterification more so than simple oxidation, even when Pd is isolated. Great fun with some great collaborators! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kOvQ4-S8nLM1
