New paper in @ACSCatalysis ! 🚀 We show how plasma reshapes NH3 cracking on carbides/nitrides using multi-scale simulation. Plasma enables radical-driven pathways, boosting TOFs. Big step toward Ru-free H2 from ammonia. Thanks to @ENERGY for support! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

So proud of my team @WPI for their fantastic presentations @ChEnected this year even without me there. My 2nd baby, Juno, decided to arrive on the very last day of the conference! 💙 Couldn’t have asked for a better reason to miss it!

Wow! @tejchoksi shared this photo with me. We were both recipients of @aiche_cre travel award in 2016, when @TheGrabowGroup and Dr. Bob McCabe were serving as vice chairs. I also spotted @McCrum_Group , @JWHarrisCatal and other outstanding scientists in the photo. Great memory!
