Research
Interests:
•
Carbon materials, particularly graphitic carbons
and applications of carbons as catalysts.
•
Synthetic liquid fuels, principally development
of the next generation of jet fuels.
•
Carbon dioxide capture, including reactions with
naturally occurring or chemically treated minerals,
and development of novel photocatalysts for CO2
reactions.
•
Phase relationships and viscosity-temperature
behavior in complex silicate coal ash slags.
