Really excited for #AIChEAnnual 2025! I will be giving three talks on chemical kinetics, redox thermodynamics, and ion transport at electrified catalytic interfaces. Looking forward to catching up and meeting new folks in Boston!

I am really looking forward to #WRM2025 tomorrow in San Jose! I am giving a talk in the Symposium In Honor of Neal Byington at 11:30AM (Mon., Oct 27) in Regency Ballroom 1. Come by to learn about analytical methods to measure electrochemical phenomena at catalytic interfaces!

Check out our latest work that details design principles for dynamic catalysis in a simple quantitative framework!
I am excited to share our recent paper titled “Clarifying mechanisms and kinetics of programmable catalysis”! Learn how dynamic catalysis works, it's prerequisites, and how Sabatier limits still exist during programmed catalysis! lnkd.in/eQPGG8WE

Really excited to finally see this work (pre-)published - Brandon and I detail a mathematical foundation for the kinetic description of dynamic catalysis which enables (i) derivation of closed-form solutions and (ii) super-fast numerical simulation of dynamic microkinetic models!
Check out our new ChemRxiv pre-publication on finding analytical solutions and reducing the calculation times for dynamic catalysis limit cycles to milliseconds! #DynamicCatalysis doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…

Check out our latest work in @PNASNews! We redress the "blind spots" of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood formalism and find some very surprising results - namely that a single elementary step can be both equilibrated and rate-determining! (yes, at the same time) pnas.org/content/118/8/e2019…

Really excited about our new paper on non-oxidative methane aromatization in J. Catalysis! We demonstrate Mo/H-ZSM-5 catalysts are monofunctional with Brønsted-acid sites only serving to disperse carbidic Mo active sites sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thanks Jason for the kind words! Had a great time writing it and excited to see this work published!
Getting back to my reading list for the holidays, absolutely blown away by this great work from Neil, Aditya, et al. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
