Keith Lawrence Hohn Adjunct Professor

Hohn’s research focuses on the use of heterogeneous catalysis for applications related to energy. This has included research on hydrogen generation, natural gas conversion, and synthesis of fuels and chemicals from biomass-derived molecules. Recent projects include the development of bimetallic Pt-Ni catalysts for conversion of heavy hydrocarbons to hydrogen via autothermal reforming, simulation of the performance of a three-way catalyst for treatment of natural gas exhaust, and development of acid-functionalized nanoparticles for hydrolysis of biomass-derived sugars.
