Research Project: (1) Using intermetallic compounds, which have isolated and well-defined active sites, to gain a detailed understanding of the kinetics/mechanism of hydrogenation reactions. (2) Exploring the interaction of hydrogen with SCALMS (supported catalytically active liquid metal solutions) and the subsequent impact this will have on catalysis (e.g. hydrogenation, dehydrogenation).
