The overarching goal of this research project is to understand how to control selectivity through tuning cooperativity in multi-functional catalysts.

Develop a fundamental understanding of the synergy between strong interactions at the ligand-metal binding site and weak interactions in the surrounding coordination sphere for the selective separations and stimuli-responsive release of lanthanides
High burn-up (HBU) (>45 GWd/MTU) nuclear fuel is associated with increased corrosion and hydride precipitation and high levels of irradiation-induced damage to cladding and fuel pellets. To support eventual disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF), there is a need to test and evaluate the mechanical behavior of SNF under normal transportation condition.

The overarching goal of this project is to elucidate how interfaces and dimensionality affect chiral transport phenomena by targeted modification of the underlying many-body electronic, magnetic, and lattice interactions in heterostructured quantum materials.
