(4ny) Electrocatalysis Engineering Toward Green Hydrogen and Ammonia

Research Interests: Electrifying chemical engineering for decarbonizing chemicals. Research expertise including catalyst, material, and reactor engineering for converting waste nitrogen into green ammonia, water splitting into green hydrogen, and turning carbon dioxide into chemicals and fuels.

In pursuit of a faculty role, my expertise in electrocatalysis, nanomaterial synthesis, and reactor engineering positions me uniquely. Proficient in green chemicals production, I propose electrocatalysis solutions for 1. Nitrate reduction reaction in wastewater, aiding environmental remediation and resource recovery; 2. Water splitting for green hydrogen, emphasizing non-nobel material development for oxygen evolution reaction; 3. CO₂ capture and conversion via catalyst-polymer interfacial engineering. Past achievements, including publications in Nature Nanotechnology and Nature Material and proposal writing experiences for DOE and NSF grants, demonstrate my ability to conduct rigorous and innovative research. Beyond technical proficiency, my commitment to fostering an inclusive research environment aligns with values crucial for collaboration and mentorship. I aim to contribute to renewable energy advancements and environmental sustainability, driven by impactful research, mentorship, and collaboration.
