Catalysis research on supported acids (zeolites, macroporous polymers, functionalized mesoporous silicas) and mixed metal oxides for syngas cleanup / conditioning, biorefining and oxidative desulfurization applications. • Characterization techniques: FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analysis (TGA, DSC, TPD), SEM, XRD, XAS (XANES and XAFS), and microreactor kinetics measurements. • Synthesis / characterization of rare earth oxide catalysts and their application in nanoparticle-aided combustion, desulfurization, reforming and tar removal. • Synthesis / characterization of energetic material / catalyst composite materials. • Hydrogenation / dehydrogenation, especially for oligomers and macromolecules. • Prior work on synthesis and characterization of selective zeolite / metal dehydrogenation catalysts, and the condensation catalysis of non-symmetric ketone, amide and imide production. Applications of zeolites work include carbonylations, alkane and amine dehydrogenations, and homologations. • Prior work on high-pressure processing and extraction research, e.g., supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) of priority pollutants from contaminated soils, SCFE of low molecular weight organic solutes from polymers, and of organic pollutants from water.
