Recycling

Conducts research as part of a multidisciplinary team in chemical recycling of polymers and organometallic catalysis. The project will involve designing, synthesizing, and characterizing new recyclable polymers, and evaluating the thermomechanical properties of these materials. This research program will include studies towards understanding reaction mechanisms through reaction kinetics analysis and other physical organic and inorganic techniques.
