Very much enjoyed visiting Tom Schwartz at U Maine last week to talk about our work in dilute-limit alloy catalysis. Also a true pleasure to see their biofuel pilot plant at the Forest Bioproducts Research Institute!

Had a great time visiting @TedOnCatalysis and Jesse Bond at Syracuse this week, talking about my group's efforts to understand the role of ensembles in catalysis by dilute-limit alloys. Also very excited by the work being done at Syracuse; looking forward to it coming out!

It was a true honor to have Dr. Linda Broadbelt give this year's Gregory M. Botsaris Lecture at Tufts ChBE! It was an inspiring look at how reaction pathway analysis can be used to understand and guide plastic pyrolysis as well as to guide the discovery of bioderived plastics

I am so impressed by how talented and clever our Massachusetts high school scientists are! Serving as a poster judge at this year's Massachusetts Science and Engineering Fair for Region IV on Friday was an inspirational joy.

Our latest research on catalytic oxidation over dilute-limit PdAu alloys is now available in @JCatal_J! Here we show that Pd promotes ethanol esterification more so than simple oxidation, even when Pd is isolated. Great fun with some great collaborators! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kOvQ…

Happy to share our recent work in Journal of Catalysis @jcatal_j where we show how structural changes to Pd sites in PdCu/zeolites impact heterogeneous Wacker oxidation catalysis! doi.org/10.1016/j.jcat.2024.…

Thank you to the Great Plains Catalysis Society for the opportunity to discuss catalysis by dilute-limit alloys! Here I focused on the importance of ensemble size, discussing what the field knows, how we know it, and where we go from here.
Please join us for our next webinar by Prof. Nathaniel Eagan of the Tufts University on December 13. If you are not a member but still want to join the webinar, use the following registration form: greatplainscatalysis.org/web… @EaganNat @TuftsEngineer

Check out our work in @Chem_Eng_J on aldolization over MgAl oxides using a reversible "trans-situ" titration method to show the importance of the strongest base sites. DFT led by @pdesh also assesses the ability of metal vacancies to drive this catalysis. authors.elsevier.com/a/1k0XJ…

Thanks for a great week, @ChEnected! Looking forward to taking insights from the meeting back to the lab with our fantastic students Kenny and Tofunmi. Hopefully I don't get stopped at airport security again for leaving a lab wrench in my backpack...

Update: the Eagan lab now has one less 9/16" wrench.

Excited to share the first original research article from the Krishna Group in @ApCatB ! doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.202… We elucidate the redox pathways by which greenhouse gas N2O is reduced by NO and NH3 over iron-zeolite catalysts, an important technology for renewable NH3 engines.

We're subway-famous in Boston! If you want to know what Tofunmi is looking at in this photo, hear about it at her AIChE talk in San Diego on Sun, Oct 27th at 5:18 pm in Room 28C of the convention center. And stay tuned for her publication!
