Presentation Made to Prospective Graduate Students 2008

Educational Qualifications and Selected Awards:
Ph. D. California Institute of Technology (1990)
NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award (1991);
Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award (1993);
CSGS New Scholar Award (1994);
Texas-Exes Teaching Award (1999);
Union Carbide Corp. Innovation Recognition Award (1999);
Lockheed-Martin College of Engineering Teaching Award (2004)

Focus:
Surface chemistry of nanostructured surfaces and heterogeneous catalysis.

Research:
The kinetics and dynamics of gas-surface interactions and surface chemical/physical phenomena are of interest from both a fundamental and an applied point of view. Very little is understood regarding chemical reactions on solid surfaces but they are crucially important in many industrial processes.
