CBE - Computational catalysis

Undergraduate will work with a PhD student on an on-going project in which we build models to describe and predict the performance of known and possible catalysts for practically relevant chemical reactions, like those related to keeping the environment clean or more efficiently producing the chemicals society needs, like for fertilizer.
