Research Overview :

My research focuses on the use of zeolites to perform hydrocarbon chemistry for fuels synthesis. I am currently on several projects. One involves developing and testing catalysts for olefin oligomerization. Another focuses on conversion of alcohols to olefins that can be used in the pathway to transform biomass into polymers.
