Alex is a senior undergraduate student studying Chemical Engineering and minoring in Chemistry. His previous research at UMich has involved experimental work in heterogeneous catalysis for converting methane into higher-valued chemicals. Additionally, Alex has participated in a summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Delaware studying hydroxide exchange membrane electrolyzers (2018) and in the Amgen Scholars program at the University of California, Berkeley investigating a common surface contaminant in lithium-ion batteries (2019). To explore computation, he has joined the Goldsmith lab in Fall 2019 to model the coverage of poisonous species on nitrate reduction catalysts. Other than research, Alex enjoys anything Frisbee-related, cooking, hiking, basketball, and exercising.
