Zeolites, Porous Materials & Catalysts for Refining and Petrochemicals
We engineer zeolites, mesoporous materials, porous carbons, and supported catalysts for crude-oil-to-chemicals conversion, catalytic cracking, hydroprocessing, and ultra-deep desulfurization. This research aims to enhance catalyst activity, selectivity, and stability while enabling cleaner fuels and more sustainable petrochemical processes.
