We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry with a focus on kinetics and mechanism. Applicants can email me ([email protected]) with a CV, statement of prior research, and one-page research proposal.

We're subway-famous in Boston! If you want to know what Tofunmi is looking at in this photo, hear about it at her AIChE talk in San Diego on Sun, Oct 27th at 5:18 pm in Room 28C of the convention center. And stay tuned for her publication!

Excited to share the first original research article from the Krishna Group in Applied Catalysis B ! doi.org/10.1016/j.apca… We elucidate the redox pathways by which greenhouse gas N2O is reduced by NO and NH3 over iron-zeolite catalysts, an important technology for renewable NH3 engines.

Proud to sponsor these 25 incredible scientists at this year's annual meeting! #AIChE2024 #WICisYOU American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)

Check out our work in Chemical Engineering Journal on aldolization over MgAl oxides using a reversible "trans-situ" titration method to show the importance of the strongest base sites. DFT led by Prashant Deshlahra also assesses the ability of metal vacancies to drive this catalysis. authors.elsevier.com/a/1k0XJ4x7R2kQ…

Thank you to the Great Plains Catalysis Society for the opportunity to discuss catalysis by dilute-limit alloys! Here I focused on the importance of ensemble size, discussing what the field knows, how we know it, and where we go from here.

Happy to share our recent work in Journal of Catalysis Journal of Catalysis where we show how structural changes to Pd sites in PdCu/zeolites impact heterogeneous Wacker oxidation catalysis! doi.org/10.1016/j.jcat…

Excited to host the New England Catalysis Society Winter 2025 Symposium at UMass Lowell on Friday, January 10th! Join us for talks by Prof. Umit Ozkan, Prof. Abhaya Datye, Qing Zhao, Zhou Lin 林舟, and Ross Lab. Register here: forms.gle/r49h5radHX88rQ….

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

Want hands-on battery research experience? Join the Battery Research Summer School! 4 days of real labs, real data, real problem-solving. Learn to cycle, test & troubleshoot Li-ion batteries. 📅 June 3-6 | 📍 Tufts University 📌 More info: eventbrite.com/e/123404361065…

I am so impressed by how talented and clever our Massachusetts high school scientists are! Serving as a poster judge at this year's Massachusetts Science and Engineering Fair for Region IV on Friday was an inspirational joy.

It was a true honor to have Dr. Linda Broadbelt give this year's Gregory M. Botsaris Lecture at Tufts ChBE! It was an inspiring look at how reaction pathway analysis can be used to understand and guide plastic pyrolysis as well as to guide the discovery of bioderived plastics

Had a great time visiting Theodore Walker and Jesse Bond at Syracuse this week, talking about my group's efforts to understand the role of ensembles in catalysis by dilute-limit alloys. Also very excited by the work being done at Syracuse; looking forward to it coming out!

The Spring Symposium of the New England Catalysis Society is coming up on May 9th at WPI. Register today here: forms.gle/T9PS3bPMFs4Axa… Poster/oral abstracts are still being accepted until May 2 here: forms.gle/Sa6eUDZXDAUkvu… Looking forward to our keynote talk from Elizabeth Biddinger!

Very much enjoyed visiting Tom Schwartz at U Maine last week to talk about our work in dilute-limit alloy catalysis. Also a true pleasure to see their biofuel pilot plant at the Forest Bioproducts Research Institute!

Congratulations to the winners of the New England Catalysis Society's Spring 2025 poster session! 1st: Felipe de Faria Teixeira (WPI), 2nd: Saleh Ahmat Ibrahim (UMass Lowell), 3rd: Success Eghosa Aiwekhoe (UMass Amherst). Also thanks again to Elizabeth Biddinger for a fantastic keynote!

Congrats to Tofunmi for winning second place for her poster on dilute-limit PdAu-catalyzed ethanol oxidation at the 2025 NOBCChE Collaborative Joint Spring Conference!
