University of Toledo

Worked in collaboration with Catacel Corporation, Garrettsville, OHIO
Studied reforming of natural gas, ethanol, diesel, JP8, kerosene and heavy-fuel surrogates for the production of hydrogen
Designed and installed high pressure and high temperature reactor systems to enable screening reforming catalysts and generate data for the estimation of detailed kinetic
Prepared catalysts using wet impregnation, co-precipitation and sol-gel technique
Developed sulfur tolerant catalyst for steam reforming and combustion of sulfur containing logistic fuels (diesel and jet fuel)
Worked with Catacel Corporation to incorporate the developed sulfur-tolerant catalyst in their patented flexible fuel reformer to build and test a pilot scale fuel reformer prototype
Performed post-reaction catalyst characterization using BET, TPR, TPO, Chemisorption, XRD, TEM, XPS to understand the effect of reaction conditions on catalyst deactivation
Performed kinetic analysis and determined reaction mechanism of heavy fuel reforming incorporating catalyst deactivation by implementing C and Fortran programs and MATLAB optimization routines
Installation, operation and troubleshooting of analytical instruments (GC, MS, GC-MS, Micromeritics)
Prepared technical reports and visual data presentations to communicate results in monthly and quarterly reports
