Research
I am dedicated to developing innovative catalytic systems that drive sustainable chemical transformations and energy conversion. By leveraging kinetic analysis, in situ spectroscopy, and computational chemistry, I aim to understand reaction mechanisms and design high-performance catalysts based on the mechanistic insights. My research targets advancing key areas including COâ‚‚ utilization, hydrocarbon upgrading, and fine chemical synthesis.
