My research focuses on investigating the use of organic monolayers as a method of tuning catalysts to improve their efficiency, specificity, and durability during hydrogenation reactions important in biomass upgrading and CO2 utilization. Specifically, I am interested in methods for controlling the location, ordering, and density of SAM layers on supported metal catalysts to better understand the interactions between organic and inorganic catalyst components that give rise to improved performance.
