Kreitz Research Group
We are a computational and experimental catalysis research group at the School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech. Our work combines quantum chemistry, multiscale modeling, and kinetic experiments to unravel the detailed chemical kinetics of complex heterogeneously catalyzed reactions.
Research Overview
We develop and apply computational methods in combination with experiments to address fundamental questions in heterogeneous catalysis. Key areas include:
- Heterogeneous catalysis — understanding reaction mechanisms on surfaces from first principles
- Automated mechanism generation — accelerating the development of detailed chemical kinetic models of catalytic reactions
- Multiscale modeling — connecting molecular-scale insights to macroscopic reactor performance
