Research Information

Research Overview

My group focuses on Computational Electrocatalysis. We use Density Functional Theory (DFT), atomistic thermodynamics, and our own methods and descriptors based on electron-counting rules, reaction energies and coordination numbers to make predictive, structure-sensitive and composition-sensitive models of electrocatalytic reactions. My group is interested in the use of transition metals, their alloys, oxides, MN4 single-atom catalysts and molecular catalysts for reactions of importance in the C, N, O, H, and H2O cycles.
