Elizabeth J. Biddinger joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at City College of New York as an Assistant Professor in August of 2012. Her research interests encompass green chemistry and energy concerns. She has experience in catalysis, electrochemistry, alternative solvents, green chemistry and sustainable engineering. Prior to joining City College, Dr. Biddinger was a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying alternative solvent systems for green chemistry and sustainable engineering applications, including CO2 capture, nanoparticle synthesis and homogeneous catalyst recycle. She received her PhD in 2010 in Chemical Engineering from The Ohio State University and her BS in 2005 in Chemical Engineering from Ohio University. Her research at Ohio State involved the development and investigation of nitrogen-containing carbon nanostructures as oxygen reduction electrocatalysts for PEM and direct methanol fuel cells. In the past, she also worked on electrocatalysis development for the production of hydrogen by ammonia electrolysis.
