Colin Suttles (Graduate student)
Colin completed his B.S. in chemical engineering at the University of Louisville in 2018. He is working on his MS in Chemical Engineering. His project involves the upgrading of natural gas (methane, ethane, and propane).
Michael Willis (Graduate student)
Michael completed his B.S. in chemical engineering at the University of Louisville in 2018. Currently, he is working on his MS in Chemical Engineering. His project involves the upgrading of plastic wastes and lignocellulose using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Kyle Mills (Undergraduate student)
Kyle is working toward his B.S. in chemical engineering at the University of Louisville. He is working on the packed bed and batch reactors for lignin upgrading. He will be away for co-op in the Spring of 2020. We will miss you Kyle!
Ashten Molley (Undergraduate student)
Ashten is working toward her B.S. in chemical engineering at the University of Louisville. She is working on the batch reactions for lignin upgrading. She nominated herself as a queen of the lab and she won that title! She will be away for co-op in the Spring of 2020. We will miss you more than Kyle for sure!
Past group members
Thanh Khoa Phung (Postdoc)
In 2016, he decide to join the dark side, Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Louisville, as a postdoctoral fellow. Prior to joining UofL, Khoa worked for Nguyen Tat Thanh University. He recieved his B.S. in Chem. Eng. in 2006 from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam, and his M.S. in Chem. Eng.in 2011 from Pukyong National University, Republic of Korea. He completed his Ph.D. in Materials Sci. & Tech. in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Guido Busca at University of Genova, Italy. When he is not in the lab, he likes to play soccer and tries out different restaurants---Korean, Italian, and Vietnamese food. He is on a mission to find the real American food! Do McDonald, Taco Bell, and KFC count???
