Our group applies first principles theoretical (electronic structure DFT calculations, ab initio kinetic and thermodynamic simulations) and various experimental tools (surface science, in-situ reactor studies, electron microscopy, etc.) to study chemical transformations on surfaces.
The central objective of our work is the development of predictive theories of surface chemistry related to heterogeneous catalysis, electro-catalysis, and photo-electro-catalysis. We are currently working on a number of projects that aim to address various issues in the fields of energy and environment, functional nanomaterials, and fundamental heterogeneous catalysis.
