Mark Crocker
|
Associate Director - Biofuels and Environmental Catalysis
Scientist III Center for Applied Energy Research, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky. Application of catalysis to biomass upgrading and biodiesel synthesis.
Environmental applications of catalysis, focusing on the
design of new catalysts and processes for the abatement of gaseous pollutants
(e.g., NOx, N2O, NH3); selective oxidation of hydrocarbons, focusing
on the design and application of improved catalysts; mechanistic studies
in catalysis, employing soluble coordination complexes to model the
active site in heterogeneous catalysts; applications of novel materials
in catalysis. |
