I have 16 years of experience, and specialize in the field of heterogeneous catalysis with specific knowledge in the areas of petroleum refining, plasma reactions and carbon dioxide capture. I have published on such topics as catalysts for alkene production, plasma reactions for methane conversion and using coal fly ash to capture carbon dioxide. I have equal experience in industry, as a BS level chemical engineer at a large oil refinery, and in academia as a PhD researcher and professor at the university level.
