A few pictures from our most recent group outing at Copper Mountain:
Martin Menart Ph.D Student BS Chemical Engineering, University of Minnesota Research Interest: Synthesis, characterization, and application of catalysts for biomass conversion to liquid fuels via gasification routes. My emphasis is on the oligomerization of bio-derived light olefins towards non-aromatic, drop-in liquid fuels for gasoline, diesel, and jet engines. E-mail: mmenart@mines.edu
Mengze Xu
Research Interest: My research is focused on constructing novel hierarchical zeolitic structures, modifying zeolites for biomass upgrading and generating functional mesoporous materials. E-mail: mxu@mines.edu
Sarah Schulda
Research Interest: Metal oxides and synchrotron experiments
E-mail: sshulda@mines.edu
Sam Gage
Ph.D Student BS Chemistry & Germanic Studies, Indiana University Research Interest: I synthesize supported transition metal carbide and nitride catalysts and study support/catalyst interactions with surface characterization techniques, such as X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
E-mail: sgage@mines.edu
Amy Settle Ph.D Student B.S. Chemistry, Colorado Mesa University Research Interest: Synthesis, characterization, and application of catalysts for biomass conversion; gaining a first-principles understanding of the nature of catalytic active sites and their behavior modifications under reaction conditions.
E-mail: asettle@mines.edu
Chris Cadigan, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Researcher BS Chemistry, Santa Clara University Research Interest: Inorganic synthesis of nanostructured materials (metals, metal oxides, metal nitrides) for use in catalysis, electrocatalysis, batteries, and biofuels.
