Christian Reece received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Bath, where he worked on computational studies on semiconductor materials. He received his PhD from Cardiff University, and his doctoral work was focused on using DFT and kinetic analysis to better understand and design heterogeneous catalysts. He then went on to postdoc at Harvard University with Prof. Robert J. Madix, focusing on utilising transient pulse techniques and kinetic modelling to rationalise catalytic behaviour. He joined the Rowland Fellows program in July 2019 with the goal to design transient experiments in order to rationalise and predict catalytic behaviour.

Group Members

Audrey Dannar received her B.A. in chemistry from Reed College in Portland, OR. She will received her Ph.D from Tufts University in July 2024, where she investigated Single-Atom Alloy model catalyst stability and oxidation using variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy in the laboratory of Prof. E. Charles H. Sykes. She will be conducting pulse experiments to elucidate fundamental processes behind Fe-catalyzed carbon nanotube formation.

Hadley Nunn is in her third year at Tufts University working towards a B.S in Chemistry and a minor in math. She will be working on combining transient flow experiments with in situ DRIFTS to characterise catalytic materials.
