From page 105...
... The target reactions she currently studies are the selective oxidation of lower alkanes, the sustainable production of hydrogen through advanced steam reforming of natural gas, the CO2 capture, and the hydrodeoxygenation of biomass derived oxygenates. Her expertise lies in the preparation of nanomaterials via advanced preparation techniques, the structural and morphological characterization using various physicochemical techniques, as well as detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies of catalytic materials under reaction conditions.
