My research will explore novel ways of transforming bulk chemicals from abundant, renewable sources such as biomass into valuable chemicals for use as fuel additives, synthetic reactants, and environmentally friendly feedstocks. The development of catalyts that allow selective and efficient reactions to take place while minimizing waste generation will play a key role towards achieving these goals. This work will help Canada progress towards a more sustainable future by identifying processes that will allow local refining of important chemicals.

我的研究将探索将散装化学品从丰富的可再生资源（如生物质）转化为有价值的化学品的新方法，用于燃料添加剂、合成反应物和环保原料。开发既能进行选择性和有效的反应，又能尽量减少废物产生的催化剂，将对实现这些目标发挥关键作用。这项工作将通过确定允许在当地提炼重要化学品的工艺，帮助加拿大朝着更可持续的未来迈进。
