Anatoly I. Frenkel

Professor, Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, Stony Brook University

We develop and apply new experimental methodologies that rely on the use of combined techniques in operando, i.e., during a process in which a nanoscale catalyst does useful work. Group Website

Wesley O. Gordon

Scientist, CB Protection and decontamination division, Edgewood Chemical Biological Center

Dr. Gordon applies his expertise in surface science and catalysis to study the surface chemistry of chemical warfare agents on existing and emerging military relevant materials for protection and filtration applications. These studies range from fundamental gas-surface studies to real-world battlefield conditions.

The Morris Group's research focuses on building a fundamental understanding of gas-surface reaction dynamics for energy, environmental, and national defense applications. Group Website

Djamaladdin (Jamal) G. Musaev

Director, Cherry L. Emerson Center for Computational Science, Emory University

Prof. Musaev is a founding member of the CCI-NSF Center for Selective C-H functionalization, and Emory’s Bioinspired Renewable Energy Center. His work focuses on new computational techniques and applying them to elucidate catalytic reaction mechanisms. Group Website

Diego Troya

Chemistry Professor, Virginia Tech

Dr. Troya's group employs advanced theoretical methods to explore the atomic-scale details of molecular reactions that find applications in catalysis, environmental chemistry, and materials science.

Sanjaya D. Senanayake

Brookhaven National Laboratory

Dr. Senanayake is a PI in the Catalysis: Reactivity and Structure (CRS) Group at BNL where he leads experimental investigations in surface science and heterogeneous catalysis enabled by the use of advanced experimental methods (imaging, spectroscopy and scattering) based on X-rays and electrons to elucidate active catalytic chemistry.
