Research Intrest

I conduct fundamental studies to understand catalytic and naturally occurring reactions related to biomass to biofuel conversion. I am passionate about research that enhances our understanding of the chemistry that occurs during biomass to biofuel conversion and the mechanisms in which a catalyst can accelerate selective reactions. I am particularly interested in the following areas.
