Experience

I was first exposed to the field of heterogeneous catalysis while conducting undergraduate research under the guidance of Prof. William Epling. My undergraduate research focused on investigating the oxygen storage capacity of, and the sulfur interactions with ceria and ceria-zirconia mixed oxides used in three-way catalysts. The goal was to provide evidence for a sulfur poisoning mechanism on ceria-based materials. Outside of study and research, I enjoy playing badminton and other sports, watching movies and TV series, and cooking.

Project Description
