My research seeks to answer the question: How do the additional reactive components in real industrial wastes reshape reaction behavior?

I pursue this by taking an "inside-out" perspective to understanding multi-component reaction systems: by first understanding the manners by which process-scale levers (e.g., applied potential, flow rate) affect reaction processes, we can then better focus our assessment of the reactive interface. Combining interfacial-scale phenomena with process-scale behavior then provides the foundation necessary to develop scalable systems.

This perspective is informed by my Ph.D. research, which centered on process- and system-scale analysis of waste glycerol electrooxidation, as well as my postdoctoral work developing new electrochemical tools for managing wastes produced by an industrial-scale chemical manufacturing process operated at a national lab.
