Our group’s research was featured on the cover of the April 2015 issue of the Center for Advanced Computing & Data Systems (CACDS) Digest. The article highlights our work on the role of water for CO oxidation over Au/TiO2 catalysts. Graduate student Hieu Doan developed a comprehensive model of the catalytically active site and reported […]

What do Lars Grabow and methane have in common? They are both very happy! 🙂 And Lars Grabow will be even happier, when he finally succeeds in making methane less happy, by selectively activating only its first C-H bond without overoxidizing it to CO2 and H2O.

The 2014 CAMD Summer School on Electronic Structure Theory and Materials Design is co-sponsored by Psi-k & Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation. It is held every two years at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and attracts a large number of high quality speakers and participants. 3rd year graduate student Sashank Kasiraju presented
Graduate student Hieu Doan developed a comprehensive computational model for Au/TiO2 catalysts, which suggest a novel mechanism for CO oxidation in the presence of water. The work is a collaboration with Profs. Bert Chandler and Chris Pursell at Trinity University San Antonio. Gregory Mullen and Buddie Mullins have published a Perspective on the article, and
