Members of the group are also involved with independent research projects, the primary focus of which, is the development of fossil fuel technology and alternative energy sources. Applied catalysis is key to the design and development of environmentally benign processing in the energy and chemical industries. Read about how we use applied catalysis in the energy and chemical industries. In some way, every aspect of our daily lives is touched by carbon materials.
Scientists carry out electrochemical studies on physico-chemical systems for a variety of reasons.
This center promotes and facilitate the use of electrochemical probes and systems in different areas of science and technology. Read about our research in fuel cells and batteries. The efficient utilization of inexpensive, diverse, and clean fuels is a fundamental need for our global society. Read about our diesel engine test facility, diesel fuel formulation, engine combustion, exhaust aftertreatment, and bio-derived fuel and lubricant research. Hydrocarbons are the lifeblood of a technological society.
