Welcome to our lab!
We are a passionate and collaborative group of scientists who aim to accelerate the discovery process for sustainable chemistry using emerging technology and high-throughput experimentation. We focus on the development of tools and strategies for efficiently exploring the discovery of catalysts, synthetic routes, and the optimization of reactions.
Both groups worked together to investigate the role of phenolic compounds in Biochar to deter VOC emission from asphalt.
At the 2024 Scialog Meeting on "Automating Chemical Laboratories" Prof. Ackerman-Biegasiewicz and Prof. Gomes came together to discuss a data-driven approach for derisking chemical synthesis. Their groups were awarded a Collaborative Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA). Graduate students Andy Tran, Hannah Ford, and Sneha Nayak will…

Dr. Aliyeh Mehranfar is a computational chemist and received her Ph.D. from the Ferdowsi University in Mashhad, Iran. She will be joining the lab's efforts in developing new HTE strategies.
Together they were able to study Fe-VOC interactions in the prevention of VOC emissions derived from Asphalt.
